Trusted by leading global enterprises

Problem Statement

The lifespan and efficiency of furnaces are heavily impacted by refractory wear and hotspots, which lead to costly downtime and repairs.

A leading steel manufacturer faced frequent refractory wear and unplanned furnace shutdowns, resulting in high maintenance costs and reduced productivity. Despite routine thermal checks, minor anomalies and localized hotspots often went unnoticed—shortening furnace lifespan and disrupting operations.

Undetected
hotspot

Undetected hotspots across the furnace shell led to gradual refractory damage, unexpected temperature spikes, and sudden equipment failures. Limited thermal visibility caused early warning signs to go unnoticed, leading to costly downtime and safety risks.

Undetected
wear

Undetected refractory wear gradually weakened furnace integrity, causing uneven heating, rising shell temperatures, and unexpected equipment failures. Small cracks and erosion progressed unnoticed, leading to reliability issues & reduced refractory life.

furnace monitoring system

Missed critical
issues

Critical issues such as rising shell temperatures, refractory thinning, and localized damage were often missed due to limited visibility. These overlooked signs escalated into major faults, causing unexpected failures and reducing overall furnace reliability.

Frequent replacement of refractory

Frequent refractory replacement became necessary as wear, hotspots, and unnoticed damage accelerated deterioration. The lack of early detection increased thermal stress on the lining, shortening its lifespan and driving up maintenance cost and downtime.

Impact and Validation by End Users

Increase refractory life​ with furnace monitoring

Effective furnace monitoring helped extend refractory life by maintaining stable temperatures and preventing overheating or thermal shocks. With automated alerts and timely interventions, wear and erosion were minimized. This resulted in a longer refractory lifespan, lower maintenance costs, and improved furnace reliability.

10M$

Expected annual value generation

The AI-powered furnace monitoring system enabled early detection of wear and hotspots, reducing unplanned shutdowns and optimizing maintenance activities—resulting in an expected annual value generation of over $1 million through improved reliability and extended refractory life.

25-50%

Increase in refractory life

Real-time hotspot monitoring, combined with continuous tracking of shell temperature and wear patterns, enabled timely maintenance and precise interventions—resulting in a 25–50% increase in refractory life and improved furnace reliability.

95%

Accuracy in hotspot detection

The AI-driven hotspot monitoring system achieved 95% accuracy in detecting critical temperature anomalies, ensuring precise identification of localized heating and enabling rapid intervention to prevent refractory damage and equipment failures.
