Demand

The Swedish company InviSense develops and sells an extremely thin passive moisture sensor which, built in to walls, floors or roofs, measures relative humidity in buildings without damaging the construction.

With a 0.1 mm thin passive moisture sensor and InviSense cloud based service, facility owners are able to measure in real time, analyze and secure the humidity. An IoT solution where all measurement data is saved and connected to each sensor.

InviSense chose Mekoprint as their prodution partner as they had a specific need for process control. The production setup should be globally competitive focusing on cost optimization. Also all processes should be highly controlled, both tolerances in each process as well as the alignment between processes.

The solution

A minimal of manual handling is involved in the production of the sensor. In a R2R production setup Mekoprint is able to control process parameters and quality standards to the degree needed by InviSense.

Documentation and complete reproducibility is extremely important and essential for the functionality and commercial succes of the sensor.

The sensor consists of etched cobber foil with silk screen printed electrically conductive circuits of silver and parts of lacquer and transfer tape.

As a finishing process the printed sensor is punched into right dimensions. and delivered to InviSense as ready-made items. Packed and ready for application.

The customer says

We had two primary reasons for choosing Mekoprint as our production partner. A well managed quality and process control together with complete in-house production setup for printing, etching and finishing, Mekoprint are able to handle all processes in the production.

From prototypes to series production our collaboration is characterized by a high level of technical knowledge and professional discussions with a high level of credibility. I also appriciate the short response time and ease of working with the team.
