Data is the raw material of the future: Find out with our CS400 Software for Kiln Monitoring
Professional temperature monitoring has long been a standard in cement rotary kilns, but every day there are new methods to keep pushing the limits of efficiency and accuracy. Thanks to our partner Fluke Process Instruments, we provide an answer to these demanding times: the CS400 Rotary Kiln Monitoring System, a solution to picture every brick in real-time.
Paired with an MP300 Line Scanner, the CS400 doesn’t just measure surface temperatures, it delivers a fully digitalized, real-time thermal map of your entire kiln shell. This innovative system takes temperature monitoring to a whole new level by transforming your kiln into a data-rich environment, helping you detect wear, track critical zones, and optimize refractory maintenance like never before.
With so many events at the same time in a cement plant, our priority is allowing control room operators the most freedom to consider available information and make decisions. The CS400 guarantees ample time for this by significantly simplifying data viewing. Divide the kiln surface into specific sections to zoom in on areas of concern, monitor wear patterns, and track refractory health over time.
Beyond traditional monitoring: The Selmatec bonus
As a system integrator, we go even further by offering the option of summarizing the data obtained and making it available in a customized format according to customer specifications, which make the foundation for process simulations (digital twin), machine learning or even AI applications. With this level of clarity, management and flexibility, no issue remains unnoticed, and we ensure future support for your business years to come.
Supported interfaces and data output options include:
- OPC DA / OPC UA
- Automatic export of furnace images (CSV, TXT, PNG, JPEG, binary, or IR)
- History tables for trend evaluation and documentation
Gain actionable insights into your kiln’s performance today. It empowers you to become even more involved in the processes of your plant, safeguarding your products, minimizing waste, and extending equipment life. Contact us today, and let us guide you into a future where data is at your service.
