Alent Cloud is an AI-optimized, cloud-based system that combines proven drying performance with next-generation usability.
It delivers the same powerful control you expect, while making operation simpler, smarter, and more efficient.
More than just a tool for kiln operators, Alent Cloud creates value across the entire sawmill. It supports production planning, streamlines logistics, and even simplifies workflows for forklift drivers.
By integrating advanced AI control with intuitive design, Alent Cloud helps you dry smarter, plan better, and run your sawmill more efficiently.
Alent Cloud – Smart. Efficient. Anywhere.
What Alent Cloud offers
Besides being smart, user friendly and always up-to-date
Smart adjustment
Our AI monitors drying trends and kiln-load balance. If the system detects that something is about to go wrong, it automatically balances and adapts the program.
Tension meter
By dividing the wood piece into multiple layers, we can clearly show how the tension changes both on the surface and inside the material during drying. This gives the user unique insight into the process and the opportunity to optimize quality at every stage.
Softwood and hardwood Generator
Based on our extensive experience and the wide range of kilns and materials we’ve worked with, our Schedule Generator creates expert, tailored drying schedules for your specific kiln and product - all in just a few clicks.
Instant return on investment
completely satisfied, we’ll remove the system at no cost and restore your previous control setup, hassle-free. It’s a risk-free way to start saving from day one.
Seamless Integration
Whether you’re operating a brand-new kiln or one that’s decades old, Alent Cloud integrates effortlessly, offering a modern solution that upgrades your existing infrastructure without hassle.
Multi site management
Gain real-time visibility and control of operations across multiple sites, all within a single system. Centralized management enhances operational insight, streamlines decision-making, and enables efficient remote troubleshooting and support
Mobile with real time control
Stay connected anywhere. Monitor and control the drying process from any device with an internet connection. Get instant access to real-time data.
WMC (Wood Moisture Content) Soft sensor
The new WMC meter in Alent Cloud offers a major performance boost over the Dynamic version. More data points and the build-in tension meter provide higher drying precision and enable smart alarms.
More data points
Alent Cloud uses 3000% more data points than Dynamic. This improves the drying process and strengthen conficence in the results.
Reports
Regularly drying reports and statistics will keep you up to date on the performance and provide you with important key numbers.
Smart alarms & API support
Hard & soft alarms alerts users when detecting defect deviations and inconsistencies in the drying process. API support makes it easy to read live data from the drying process to external data systems.
Saves lots of energy
Alent Cloud saves lot of energy, normally 30% on standard softwood products and up to 60% on hardwood.
Alent Dynamic® — classic pump drying
Alent Dynamic® is a modern and stable control system that can be adapted to all types of chamber kilns on the market.
Alent Dynamic® controls the entire drying process and has functions for simulation, scheduling, alarm management, history, analysis and manual control.
This makes it easy for you to monitor and work with all your kilns in one system.
Alent Dynamic® is easy to install and gives you a good overview of up to 40 kilns. In addition, you have full flexibility to add all of Alent’s options so that you can adapt your control system according to your customers desired quality.
Alent Dynamic® – Efficient. Proven. Natural.
What Alent Dynamic® offers
Besides a method closely related to how nature works but faster
Faster drying, better quality
Alent Dynamic® helps increase your production capacity while improving wood quality. Enjoy less cracking, reduced resin bleeding, and straighter wood.
Works with every kiln
Whether you’re operating a brand-new kiln or one that’s decades old, Alent Dynamic® integrates effortlessly, offering a modern solution that upgrades your existing infrastructure without hassle.
One control system
Alent Dynamic® makes it easy for you to monitor and work with all your kilns in one system regardless the brand of the kiln.
Electricity savings
With Alent Dynamic® you can achieve up to 60% electricity savings depending on product to be dried and the status of the kiln and equipment.
WMC
The Alent Dynamic® WMC Soft sensor is a real time software-based virtual moisture content meter that eliminates the need for manual moisture content measurement.
Real time adaption
Alent Dynamic® feels the wood and adapt the pump drying cycle for optimized drying.

Alent Dynamic® WMC Soft Sensor
Increase target Wood Moisture Content precision with the Alent Dynamic® WMC Soft Sensor, a software-only virtual sensor that completely eliminates the need to manually (and intrusively) inspect individual items within a batch of timber. It uses mathematical models and already existing kiln sensors to determine the current Wood Moisture Content (WMC) with very high precision.
-
Alent Dynamic® Optimize
Alent Dynamic® Optimize is an optional software component that uses the data gathered by the WMC Soft Sensor (required) to further optimize the runtime of the wood drying process. Optimize adjusts the dynamic wood drying cycle runtime based on the current WMC as well as tensile and compressive stress in the wood.
-
Alent Dynamic® Synchronize
Cut power costs by coordinating the operation of multiple kilns. Alent Dynamic® Synchronize minimizes power peaks as much as possible without interrupting the runtime of individual kilns. You can also schedule activity for less busy hours or weekends, and ration power usage when more is needed elsewhere.
