Guillermo Martinez, a member of the operations and engineering team at Polygon US, shares three strategies that Polygon applies to improve the performance of their systems.

The first strategy is pre-cooling the desiccants. By introducing cold air through the inlet of the process side, the desiccant wheel remains cool, enabling it to absorb more moisture compared to if it were warm. This approach enhances the moisture removal capabilities of Polygon’s systems.

The second strategy is recirculation. By recirculating air from the space or building being treated, the inlet receives pre-treated air. This ensures that the incoming air is already partially conditioned, contributing to the overall effectiveness of the system.

The third strategy involves pre-treating the React inlet. Lowering the grain count of the air entering the reactivation inlet allows for deeper reactivation of the desiccant wheel, enhancing its moisture-capturing ability on the process side.

By implementing these strategies in combination, Polygon achieves low dew points required for applications in pharmaceuticals, manufacturing facilities, and battery production.

Hello everyone. This is Guillermo Martinez, part of the operations and engineering team with Polygon US. Today, I'm gonna be breaking down three quick strategy that we apply a lot to our systems so that we improve their performance. Number one would be pre cooling our desiccants. We like to bring in as cold of an air as we can through the inlet of the process side, so that that wheel that desk and wheel can remain cool and absorb more moisture than it would if it was warm. Number two would be recirculate. By recirculating, we're recirculating from the space or building that we're treating, so that we have somewhat pretreated air going into our inlet. On number three, we would be talking about pre treating the React inlet. This allows us to have lower grain count going into the reactivation inlet, so that it reactivates the wheel even deeper and can capture more moisture on the process side. Again, all of these strategies combined can allow us to achieve the low dew points that we do for pharmaceuticals, manufacturing facilities, and even battery production. So if this is something that interests you, please give us a call and we'll be glad to talk to you about it.

Caterpillar and FieldAI partner on physical AI for jobsites

Caterpillar and FieldAI partner on physical AI for jobsites

Caterpillar announced a collaboration with robotics company FieldAI on Sept. 5, 2026, aimed at bringing physical AI and autonomous systems to construction sites and industrial environments, according to Automation News. The companies plan to combine Caterpillar's operational data and engineering with FieldAI's robot foundation models, along with NVIDIA computing and digital twin tools.

  • 01Caterpillar and FieldAI are combining industrial expertise with AI-enabled robot foundation models for construction and industrial site automation.
  • 02Planned applications include autonomous inspections for safety, digital twins for operational insight, and AI-driven simulation for industrial operations.
  • 03The partnership will use NVIDIA accelerated computing and NVIDIA Omniverse for robot-agnostic autonomy technology across multiple robotic platforms.

Distressed sales are 2% of the housing market, and that should change how contractors plan 2027

Distressed sales are 2% of the housing market, and that should change how contractors plan 2027

Existing home sales fell to 3.98 million in August, but distressed sales remain at just 2% of transactions with prices still rising, signaling an affordability freeze rather than a credit crisis. Residential builders and contractors should plan 2027 capacity around intact homeowner equity, higher inventory creating pre-sale work demand, and regional variations in turnover rather than cutting headcount for a financial downturn.

  • 01Distressed sales at 2% of market (versus roughly one-third during 2008) mean no forced-seller wave or equity destruction, leaving HELOC and cash-out renovation funding intact for contractors
  • 02Supply at 4.9 months and 5.9% year-over-year growth forces sellers to fund pre-sale work on roofs, HVAC, kitchens, and inspections to compete, generating small-ticket trade demand despite lower transaction volume
  • 03Year-to-date sales up 1.6% with 27% all-cash buyers and 15% investor purchases plus strong August wage growth (3.1%) and employment (643,000 jobs since January) support demand in rate-insensitive buyer segments

JE Dunn Adds Power Generation Unit as Data Centers Grow

JE Dunn Adds Power Generation Unit as Data Centers Grow

JE Dunn Construction announced on Aug. 26, 2026 that it created a power generation unit within its advanced technology group and appointed Ryan Wilson to lead it, according to Construction Dive. The move follows a broader rise in power-related construction work tied to data centers, manufacturing and aging infrastructure.

  • 01JE Dunn named Ryan Wilson, a senior project manager with power and industrial experience, as VP and market lead for its new power generation unit.
  • 02Planned U.S. data center projects increased 203% in five months (March to August 2026), from 666 to 2,019, with Virginia leading at 458 planned projects.
  • 03Power work generates roughly 35% to 40% of Canadian firm WSP Global's U.S. revenue, Clayco launched a power and energy unit in March 2026, and Kiewit and Bechtel were selected for a $33 billion Ohio power project.
