MEET ships its first commercial Wavetester system to CASRO/SOTA, in Payerne (Switzerland). CASRO/SOTA is the official Swiss Tobacco Purchasing Center (Warehouse), where the entire Swiss tobacco production is collected and purchased from the farmers. At CASRO/SOTA's facility, the Wavetester was selected after extensive tests. It will help making the grading and purchase process faster and more accurate compared to older technolgies used before (intrusive moisture gauges and manual inspections).
MEET is present at various technology information broadcasts at the Swiss Radio and TV broadcasting company. Among the topics presented and covered are MEET's Wavetester and its application in our regional industry.
The Wavetester, MEET's state of the art moisture sensor technology was developed in collaboration with a team of researchers of the TTHFLab of the University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI). Due to the exceptionally positive results that this project generated, it was awarded as SUPSI's "Project of the month" in December 2004.
The prestigious magazine Sensor Magazin has published an article dedicated at the development (in collaboration with the University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, SUPSI, Lugano) of the technology that led to the design of MEET's Wavetester, as well as some key applications.
The Swiss industry magazine Technische Rundschau has published the article "WaveTester – die nicht invasive «Schnüffelnase» für Feuchtigkeit" about the background and the story of the development (in collaboration with the University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, SUPSI, Lugano) of MEET's Wavetester and its application in industry.
