Corrosion, mold, and fungi often share the same root cause: high humidity that leads to condensation.
You can control conditions during production, but once assets move outdoors or into transport, the challenge changes. Whether storing large components or shipping sensitive parts, the risk remains.
Here are 4 simple steps to prevent corrosion, mold, and fungi effectively.
1. Monitor relative humidity levels in storage and during transport
Start monitoring humidity around your assets—both in storage and during transport.
This is essential for compliance in logistics and critical for large components like wind turbine nacelles or towers stored outdoors. Unchecked condensation can damage equipment and shorten its lifespan.
2. Keep an eye on dew point data
The dew point is the key element in the development of condensation.
It is defined as the temperature at which air is saturated with water vapor, which results in the creation of condensation.
Concentrate on this part of your data and follow this metric closely.
Take notice and experiment with how you store or handle your assets so that dew point is avoided.
3. Set up alarms to warn you when humidity levels are too high
Make your monitoring software warn you automatically when the data indicates a risk of condensation.
In this way, you can react immediately to heightened levels and avoid condensation and the problems this could create.
Similarly, with automatic alarms, you will not need to find time to analyze the data but only receive notifications when actions need to be taken.
4. Make your asset monitoring more effective with IoT tracking devices
Save money and become more effective by monitoring your humidity data with IoT tracking devices.
Instead of investing in expensive humidity detection equipment, or employing crews to manually inspect every asset, mount the wireless IoT devices in the same environment as your assets.
It is by far the easiest and most cost-effective solution as devices will transmit data directly to one online data platform from across large storage facilities or different geographical locations – wherever assets are located.
The accompanying software offers humidity data in graphs, reports, and PDFs to prove compliance or to guarantee top-quality handling of assets while in your care.
