Multi-Point Thermal Mapping
Simultaneous monitoring of 24+ points per sensor creates a comprehensive thermal profile of the entire pot shell.
Continuous Real-time Side Shell Temperature Monitoring
μTMapS™ - Precision Thermal Intelligence for Pot Shells
μTMapS™ delivers continuous, multi-point temperature monitoring of pot shells in aluminium smelters. Detect thermal hotspots, maintain ledge stability, and prevent catastrophic pot shell failures with our patented ultrasonic waveguide technology.
Key Benefits of μTMapS™
24+ Measurement Points
Per sensor at 0.25 m² resolution, providing
unprecedented thermal visibility across the
entire pot shell surface.
Zero Shutdown Installation
Magnetic mounting eliminates invasive
welding, allowing installation during normal
operation without production loss.
Hotspot Detection
Real-time AI-powered alerts detect thermal
anomalies 24-48 hours in advance for
proactive maintenance.
±1.5°C Accuracy
Stable, drift-free measurements across the
20-1450°C range with 0.5°C resolution for
precise thermal control.
Predictive Maintenance
Enable planned interventions instead of
reactive emergency shutdowns, reducing
downtime and costs.
5+ Year Lifespan
No electronics in the hot zone means superior
durability compared to traditional
thermocouples that fail in 3-6 months.
Core Capabilities
Continuous Data Streaming
Real-time data acquisition and cloud synchronization for instant access to thermal intelligence anywhere.
ATEX CE IEC Certified
Certified for explosive atmospheres, ensuring compliance with the strictest industrial safety standards.
MODBUS & MQTT API
Seamless integration with existing plant automation and MES systems for unified process control.
