Moisture Intrusion Detection System: “Solving Water Leak Inspection Challenges on Vehicle Assembly Lines”

“Water Leaks” have plagued the auto industry for years. About 3% of new vehicles leave the factory with leaks large enough to cause mold growth and damage to expensive electronic components. Catching leaks at the factory requires a new approach to leak detection. Since getting to the leak areas is challenging, what’s needed are water sensors located in these locations, under the carpet and in the thin spaces between plastic panels and door moldings.
