APM Application Module: Purpose built for dangerous situations
In critical industrial processes where there is risk of fire and explosion, irreversible damage is seconds away. From battery production and thermal runaway scenarios to volatile chemical handling, the need for precision monitoring at high speed has never been more urgent. That’s where Selmatec’s APM (Application Module) comes in.
The APM system was developed specifically to handle environments where real-time reaction can prevent catastrophe. Whether it's overheated battery modules, short circuits in e-mobility applications, or escalating temperatures during energy storage or transfer, APM ensures that thermal anomalies are captured, communicated, and acted upon before they escalate into disaster.
Boost your APM with these devices
A key aspect of the APM’s success lies in its convenient integration with two cutting-edge infrared camera models: ThermoView TV30 and IRSX. Although the APM is compatible with nearly any thermal imaging GigE source, these are our recommended camera pairings due to their rapid thermal imaging capabilities, high-resolution output, and flexibility of installation. Data can be shared via multiple interfaces, integrated into broader control systems, or used to trigger automatic interventions like cooling, shutdowns, or operator alerts.
This module is optimized for user-friendliness, and can be configured to suit your application, whether mounted as a stationary node on a battery line or on mobile equipment. Installation is straightforward, and its modular structure allows easy adaptation to evolving monitoring needs or integration with plant-wide digital twins, AI-driven quality control, or MES platforms.
What’s at stake without it?
Unmonitored hotspots in battery modules can lead to thermal runaway, a chain reaction of overheating that results in fire, toxic gas release, or even explosion. Real-world cases have shown that delayed detection during EV battery charging has led to facility-wide evacuations and product recalls costing millions. In energy storage sites, poor thermal oversight has caused internal combustion events, damaging systems irreparably and halting operations for weeks. The Selmatec APM prevents these risks by capturing early warning signs before visible smoke, flames, or mechanical failure appear.
When the margin for error is zero, APM delivers the clarity, speed, and trust your team needs to make the right decision: now! Contact us and discover how you can integrate the Selmatec APM into your business.
