Introduction:
We are seeking expert SMEs to help find a solution to contactless measure moisture & temperature of aggregate materials.
A check on Co-pilot Open AI says this is doable with Thermal Cameras & that will be an ideal solution, if possible.
However, other technologies will be considered, as long as the specs are met & HW is openly available as a commercial product.
The system will be used inside a building, non hazardous, non air conditioned, very dusty, rough environment. -10 to 50C
Our budget given is placeholder only, so submit your best bid with delivery time. If time is not submitted, 1 week will be assumed.
Objectives:
1. stated above
Requirements:
1. The working range between the surface to measure and moisture reading sensor should be 1 to 6 meters. The sensor will be on a mobile platform.
2. Need 0-60C, 0-90% M , accuracy +-1% ideally. Your best attempt will be considered.
3. Please note we need moisture reading & not humidity or RH.
Submittals with 1st response:
1. your plan to test the solution for convincing working.
2. make/models of HW your solution will use with a use case that it will work.
3. Any questions or suggestions
Deliverables:
1. the solution
2. Some training about system so we can maintain it in future w/o contacting you.
3. 6 months Warranty for quality, performance after acceptable delivery
Important Notes:
If you skip any items, we shall assume it in our favor.
All the unencumbered IP rights, editable form of entire designs, drawings, supporting docs, source codes, professional user, installation manuals and any other related materials will be submitted to us, before any payment request.
Please do not submit copy/pasted, bots or AI generated response. We like to see your work so must submit only your experience relevant to this post (any other expertise you like to share, we will give you opportunity later after award). If you have some NDA, secrecy issues, please do not respond. We have no other electronic info available, so submit your additional details desired questions with specific details here with your 1st response. if you like milestone payments, submit details now, else a single payment at completion will be made. Please do not contact us bypassing this portal. If you dislike any of these terms, please refrain from applying & save yours and our time.
Hi,
I have extensive experience in designing sensing solutions for industrial environments and can provide a reliable approach to measure moisture and temperature of aggregate materials in rough and dusty conditions. Based on your requirements.
Few Questions though:-
- Will the system need to operate continuously, or are periodic measurements acceptable? This could affect power management and sensor wear over time.
- Can you confirm if the mobile platform will have access to a stable power supply for operating the sensors, or will it need a self-sustained power source?
- For training and maintenance, I can provide step-by-step instructions and documentation, including calibration procedures for long-term use.
Deliverables
1. Fully functioning system with tested sensors and software integration.
2. Detailed user manuals and training sessions to help your team maintain the system independently.
3. 6-month warranty on performance and quality, covering any potential issues post-installation.
I’m confident this solution will meet your needs for contactless moisture and temperature measurement. Let’s discuss any additional requirements or adjustments to the proposal.
Best Regards,
Abbas JawadWala

HELLO;
I work as a research and development manager in a private company.
I have more than 8 years of experience in embedded system software and hardware.
As software (**STM32**), I am competent in microcontrollers such as MICROCHIP, NUVOTON, ARDUINO, ESP32, MSP430, RASPBERRY PI.
I have experience in communication protocols such as CanBus, ModBus, RS232, RS485, SPI, I2C, TCP IP, Socket Communication.
I am an expert in Altium and KiCad programs for hardware.
I have made temperature and humidity sensors before. I have capacitive temperature sensor scans. I have worked for use in silos.
Please write to me for details.
With your project requiring a unique blend of hardware and software expertise, I believe our experience and skills make us the ideal fit. As a full-stack development team proficient in a wide range of IT skills, we've successfully executed countless projects that demand the integration of hardware and software- making us the masters of creating innovative solutions. Our previous projects in areas like Embedded Systems and Hardware & Electronics have equipped us with hands-on knowledge essential for your contactless moisture and temperature measurement task.
For your mobile platform-based sensor that needs 1 to 6 meters range, we propose integrating thermal cameras as they align perfectly with your project requirements. Thermal imaging technology not only satisfies the need for contactless measurement under adverse environments but also offers high accuracy in reading moisture content.
Additionally, we ensure that you receive all necessary information for training and maintenance post-delivery through comprehensive documentation and user-friendly training sessions. Alongside this, our commitment to quality is cemented by the 6-months warranty we provide after acceptable delivery - it reflects our confidence in the lasting performance of our solutions. Therefore, by engaging me, Rashid, and my team on this project, you can be assured of an efficient, accurate, and long-lasting solution that will truly stand the test of time. Let's create something remarkable together!
Having spent over 3 years in the software development industry, specializing in Mobile and Web development, I believe I have the skills required to create a contactless moisture and temperature measurement system that meets and even exceeds your specifications. My proficiency in technologies like React Native, JavaScript, Python, and Raspberry Pi makes me well-versed with thermal cameras; the perfect fit for this project.
To ensure you get the best solution, I plan to thoroughly test it under different conditions closely resembling your work environment. I understand the importance of accurate moisture readings as opposed to relative humidity or RH, ensuring your objectives are duly addressed. Additionally, my familiarity with API development will make integrating and training the system seamless for future ease of maintenance.
In adherence to your deliverable requirements, you can rest assured that I'll provide you not just with a functioning solution but also with the necessary training for you to maintain it independently. Finally, speaking to the matter of IP rights and confidentiality specified in your project description: I guarantee total transparency throughout our engagement as well as submitting all deliverables, including relevant source codes, instruction manuals and more on time. I look forward to discussing further how we can turn this proposal into a reality.
