Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method provide drying procedure information through a user interface. A monitoring device transmits drying procedure data measured by sensors within a structure undergoing the drying procedure to a server. In response to requests received through a communication network from a user interface, the server transmits the drying procedure information that is presented through the user interface. A variety of information and services related to the drying procedure may be provided through the user interface.
Claims24
A moisture monitoring device comprising:
- a controller;
- a non-penetrating moisture sensor configured to measure a moisture content of a material forming at least a portion of a structure undergoing a drying procedure to remove moisture from the material;
- a mechanism responsive to the controller to direct the non-penetrating moisture sensor at a first section of a structure and to a second section of the structure, the non-penetrating moisture sensor measuring a first moisture content of the first section when directed at the first section and measuring a second moisture content of the second section when directed at the second section.
A graphical user interface comprising:
- drying procedure information based on drying procedure data obtained from a moisture monitoring device at a structure undergoing a drying procedure to remove moisture from a material at least partially forming the structure, the drying procedure information comprising:
- a visual model of the structure representing at least a portion of the structure;
- and
- moisture level content of a plurality of sections of the structure.
A drying procedure monitoring system comprising:
- a server adapted to transmit, through a communication network to a user interface, drying procedure information based on drying procedure data acquired at a structure undergoing a drying procedure to remove moisture from a material forming at least a portion of the structure, the drying procedure data comprising moisture content values of a plurality of sections of the structure.
