Moisture Sensor ROI

Why MoistTech Delivers a Better ROI Than the Competition

In today’s competitive manufacturing environment, operational efficiency and cost control are critical to maintaining profitability. When evaluating moisture sensing technology, moisture sensor ROI remains one of the most important metrics to consider. That’s where MoistTech stands apart. With its precision engineering, fast payback period, and long-term cost savings, MoistTech delivers measurable value that goes far beyond the initial investment. See how MoistTech delivers a higher ROI over the competitors.

MoistTech Saves Money on Labor

MoistTech offers efficiency, low maintenance, and a user-friendly design. All these factors help save money and increase your moisture sensor ROI. For example, if you manually run 20 moisture measurement tests per day, it could take up to two minutes to complete per test. With MoistTech, 20 tests only take five seconds. It can cost $20/hr in labor for an employee to run tests with a current system and only eight cents for a MoistTech system. Normally, a manual test run by an employee takes up not only their time, but it also creates potential issues on the production line while test results are obtained in a manual drying process. Because MoistTech is easy to use, you will not have to spend extensive amounts of time and money training new employees on the system.

Easy Installation and Maintenance Costs

Other moisture sensor systems can cost around $1,500 for installation. MoistTech’s plug-and-play setup makes the installation process simple and comes with step-by-step directions that can be completed in minutes. You can also reduce wasted labor hours resulting from human errors as MoistTech’s online unit is automated and connected back to a PC or PLC for ease of use. Say goodbye to maintenance costs after switching systems. MoistTech’s no-drift design never needs to be recalibrated or sent out for maintenance.

Your ROI’s Bottom Line

Your current method could cost you an average of $1,620 per test compared to MoistTech’s online sensor costing a little over $5. That adds up to $32,400 for a full day on the current system, where MoistTech would run about $100 for a day. This is a $32,300 saving each day.

The cost of a MoistTech moisture sensor varies by model, but the $16,000 model will be used for this calculation. If used as a maintenance budget item, the MoistTech would have a low monthly cost of around $1,333. The net savings per day of the MoistTech sensor compared to your current method would be around $33,632 with a yearly saving of $8,744,233. This highlights an exceptional moisture sensor ROI—paying for itself in less than one full production day. By not installing a MoistTech sensor, you could be wasting around $24,000 each day.
