Phoenix Restoration Equipment, a division of Therma-Stor, has partnered with UW-Madison to work on specific enhancements to their DryLINK® ecosystem of connected IoT products. DryLINK is an IoT platform used in the water damage restoration market.

Bluetooth-enabled drying equipment along with the DryLINK app addresses the shortage of skilled labor, which contractors list as their number-one hurdle.  Contractors can save three to four hours per job taking psychrometric readings remotely and prioritize onsite visits based on these readings. They can also instantly share a link to the drying report to keep adjusters and other stakeholders apprised of the job’s progress.
