Discover Gábor Dévai's testimony on Outsights input for moisture measurement.

Founded in 1994, Dunakontroll KFT is an Hungarian research company that develops microwave-based moisture measurement systems for the Paper Industry. One of the key issues in this industry is measuring the moisture content of materials.

As the quantity of water has a direct impact on the weight of the goods, it has a direct impact on the operational costs associated with handling these goods (storage, transportation, sale...). It is therefore imperative to be able to measure both the volume of materials and their water content, in order to optimize these costs for all players in the chain.


Traditional methods, often manual, are on one hand extremely time-consuming, and on the other hand unable to generate accurate data when dealing with large volumes of materials.

To address this challenge, Dunakontroll developed the HPNA Moisture-Measurement System that combines Microwave technology with LiDAR technology.

Outsight's capability to transforms raw LiDAR data into real-time actionable insights enables Dunakontroll to measure not only the volume, but also the moisture content of an entire truck load in less than 2 minutes, even if it's bagged, in a fully automated way. 

In an era where accuracy and efficiency are more crucial than ever, Dunakontroll's partnership with Outsight showcases the power of LiDAR technology. By eliminating manual interventions and offering rapid, precise measurements, the HPNA system is setting a new benchmark in fibrous material measurement.
