This medical device manufacturer produces thousands of strands of medical monofilament, an essential medical product that requires strict quality control. Their process engineers had identified an increase in product failure rate during the day and in peak summer conditions. This was linked to rising humidity preventing the monofilament from cooling and drying sufficiently before packaging.

The engineers determined that the ideal manufacturing conditions would be a 37.5°F dew point with 29.84% relative humidity in the threading and packaging rooms. A permanent solution would take over 2 years to design, engineer, and commission, but the plant needed something much faster so they could fill large orders that were critical to the healthcare supply chain.
