“This IoT solution can be used as a very effective and low-cost tool to achieve higher drying efficiency in any hot air-drying system through online monitoring and supervision of the drying process, and is not just limited to rubber drying,” added Dr. “This helps us to identify operational deficiencies in the drying process and take proactive measures on time rendering multiple benefits such as shortening the drying period, assuring the quality of the product being dried, reduction of firewood used, etc.,” he explained further.

“The solution enables continuous real-time monitoring of temperature and humidity inside the drying chambers, ensuring that optimal conditions are maintained at all times for harnessing the best of the yield,” states Rubber Research Institute, Acting Director Dr. Innovative solution developed with technical assistance from Dialog Moratuwa University Research Lab aims to enhance rubber drying processĭialog Enterprise, the corporate ICT solution arm of Dialog Axiata PLC, in collaboration with the Rubber Research Institute of Sri Lanka and Dialog University of Moratuwa Research Laboratory, has devised an IoT-led implementation to assist local rubber plantations with their drying process of crepe rubber, keeping abreast with the latest trends in digitalisation.
