Opportunities exist in the hardwood lumber industry to accurately and efficiently dry hardwood lumber using computer-based process control. Systems have been commercially available for at least 10 years, yet wide spread usage of computer-based control systems has not occurred. Problems with control system accuracy, reliability, and using unconventional methods of measuring moisture content have caused the hardwood lumber industry to be cautious about adopting this new technology.
