For a gelatin manufacturer, precise temperature and humidity are critical. A slight variation can compromise product quality. This challenge sparked a major digital transformation in their Kerala lab.
The Challenge
The Challenge: Unstable Ambient Conditions The facility's chemistry lab, where daily testing and sample analysis were carried out, struggled with maintaining consistent ambient conditions. Manual monitoring often failed to capture sudden fluctuations, and the lack of real-time data made it difficult to take timely corrective actions. Over time, this led to inconsistent test results and occasional delays in production validation.
Our Solution
The Turning Point: Introducing Humido To overcome this challenge, the facility partnered with Volkkommen Industries to deploy Humido, an intelligent IoT-based ambient monitoring device. Designed to measure temperature and humidity with high accuracy, Humido was installed strategically across the lab to continuously capture real-time environmental data. Through Volkkommen's IoT platform V-VAC, the lab team could visualize every reading in real time, set threshold values for both parameters, and receive instant alerts whenever conditions deviated from the safe range. What once required manual checks was now available as live, actionable data — accessible from anywhere.
Key Results
The implementation delivered measurable improvements across operations, efficiency, and cost reduction:
The Results: Stability and Confidence
Within days of implementation, the lab witnessed remarkable improvements:
Stable ambient conditions maintained throughout testing and preparation areas.
Real-time alerts enabled faster responses and reduced risk of sample spoilage.
Data-driven insights allowed the team to identify patterns and make informed decisions.
Improved consistency in chemical analysis and product validation.
What once depended on manual observation was now powered by intelligent automation — improving not only accuracy but also confidence in every test result.
A Step Toward Smarter Manufacturing
The success of Humido in this project reflects Volkkommen Industries' commitment to practical, scalable IoT solutions for industrial environments. By blending real-time monitoring, automation, and actionable analytics, the company continues to help manufacturers like this gelatin producer achieve reliability, safety, and efficiency — one connected system at a time.
