摘要： A moisture sensing system is configured to determine the moisture level in granulate materials, such as, but not limited to, plastic resin pellets and agricultural grains. The system is configured to measure various parameters relating to the environment around the granulate material, and to determine additional characteristics of the granulate material based on these parameters. In some embodiments, the system is configured as a multi-sensor array with the computational and communicative capabilities to process the acquired measurements and provide outputs to a process device, such as a dryer, to help optimize the drying or other processes performed on the granulate material after the moisture measurements and other data are acquired.
