Without these controls, the risks of manufacturing errors caused by extremes of humidity or even condensation are at increased risk. From design and testing, and through production, products used in the automotive industry are required to withstand the most challenging conditions. These include high temperatures, rapidly changing conditions with relative humidity and temperature, air with solvents and other chemical vapors and all of them affect product quality and productivity. Humidity Fluctuations in air humidity and poor humidity levels can cause damage to machinery, escalate the risk of injury and lead to a halt in production. Optimum humidity secures standardized processes, high production quality, and lower costs in the various areas of the automotive industry as well as for many automotive industry suppliers.

Optimum humidity secures standardized processes, high production quality, and lower costs in the various areas of the automotive industry as well as for many automotive industry suppliers. Temperature Monitoring and regulating process temperatures during every stage of the manufacturing process is a key factor in temperature measurement in the automotive industry. All the components of an automobile are exposed to extremely high-temperature fluctuations to ensure that they function correctly and reliably during subsequent use. Continuous temperature measurement is essential to optimize the process and maximize both quality and output of the serial production.

Dew Point The dew point is the temperature below which water vapor condenses as dew. The higher the temperature, the more water vapor the air can absorb. As the temperature declines, so does the capacity of the air to absorb moisture, so the water vapor condenses out as liquid. This phenomenon plays a major role in corrosion protection: If the surface isn’t completely dry during the coating process, the paint’s adhesive properties can be severely restricted. In order to ensure process reliability during the process, continuous dew point monitoring is highly recommended. Dew Point The dew point is the temperature below which water vapor condenses as dew.

The Importance of Humidity & Temperature in Automotive Manufacturing The automotive industry, specifically its manufacturing applications, comprises of a wide array of facilities and spaces carefully engineered for different purposes. Industrial environment requires absolute humidity control to safeguard not only product quality but also the safety and wellness of employees to protect established productivity standards. Reduced Electrostatic Discharge Risk Maintaining relative humidity levels will greatly reduce the risk of electrostatic build-up, ensuring that materials, products, and applications remain unaffected. Safeguard Employee Health Maintaining consistent relative humidity control at 40% to 60% RH is crucial to protects employee health, comfort, and wellness, therefore reducing absenteeism and ensuring efficient production rates. Ensure Accurate Exhaust Emission Testing Results Maintaining proper humidity control as well as with evaporative cooling can provide absolute temperature and air moisture regulation, meeting required RH levels for comprehensive testing. Improves Quality Of Final Product Ensures the necessary environmental conditions to test the durability of mechanical and electronic components under extreme conditions. Protect Coating Quality & Adhesion Proper humidity control (72% RH) will prevent the evaporation of water-based paint so that it reaches the bodywork of a vehicle as intended by the manufacturer. Improve Productivity Correct humidity levels will improve productivity in several areas within an automotive manufacturing facility. Avoid Ruining Products Automotive manufacturing spaces have understandably strict quality control standards that must be followed to meet market and customer expectations. Limit Attraction of Airborne Particles Maintaining 40% to 60% RH will ensure that the affect airborne materials have on sensitive surfaces and items is minimized to the fullest extent, making it far easier to maintain quality control according to established automotive manufacturer standards.
