Predictive Refractory Monitoring to Extend Equipment Life

Reduce unexpected downtime, gradual wear, and degradation of refractory linings in ladles, furnaces, kilns, and boilers. Our patented algorithm combined with real-time IR camera technology ensures safe and uninterrupted production.

Trusted by leading global enterprises

Problem Statement

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

The refractory monitoring systems previously in place were inadequate for addressing the operational challenges faced in industrial environments. These systems relied heavily on manual observation, which often lacked the attentiveness and consistency required to detect early warning signs of wear or damage in refractory linings. As a result, maintenance practices were largely reactive rather than proactive, leading to increased instances of unplanned downtime and equipment damage. Additionally, outdated equipment did not support continuous monitoring of refractory linings, limiting the ability to take timely and informed corrective actions.

Invisible Refractory Hot-Spots

Hot-spots on the refractory are invisible to the naked eye

Hot-spots on refractory linings often go undetected by the naked eye, posing serious risks to operational safety and equipment integrity.

Hidden Refractory
Damage

Undetected wear leads to decreased refractory life

Undetected wear and tear on refractory linings significantly reduces their lifespan, leading to unexpected failures and increased maintenance costs.

Missed Critical
Issues

Missed critical issues can lead to severe equipment damage

Undetected problems lead to severe equipment damage, risking costly downtime and repairs. Early detection is essential to prevent catastrophic failures and maintain operational efficiency.

Harsh Conditions Impact Monitoring

Harsh conditions around these equipment lead to damage of monitoring systems

The extreme environments surrounding refractory equipment cause damage to monitoring systems, reducing their reliability and effectiveness.

50%+

Reduction in downtime

Manual inspections often missed early signs of refractory damage, causing unplanned downtime. With AI-driven monitoring, early wear is detected promptly, leading to a 50% reduction in downtime and improved operational reliability.

$1M

Expected value generation annually

The shift from reactive maintenance to the Vision Refractory system has transformed operations—enabling preventive maintenance through early warnings, reducing unplanned downtimes, and unlocking an expected annual value generation of $1 million.

4.2kT

Volume improvement

The deployment of AI-driven Vision Refractory monitoring and early detection systems resulted in a 4.2kT volume improvement, fueled by reduced downtime and enhanced process reliability.
