See beyond the heat: Smarter monitoring for extreme environments with the FC-Inspector
High-temperature industrial processes—whether in metalworking, alloy production, or any other demanding industry—require precise monitoring to ensure quality, safety, and efficiency. Without real-time insights into harsh environments like furnaces or ladles, operators face risks such as slag formation, damage to ladle linings, and inconsistent product quality, all of which can lead to costly delays, defects, and safety hazards.
At Selmatec, we recognize the need for a reliable, high-performance monitoring system that provides real-time insights into harsh industrial environments. That’s why we’ve designed the AI powered FC-Inspector—a system capable of operating in high-temperature, high-stress settings, offering unparalleled durability and intelligent monitoring capabilities. By integrating temperature monitoring, live video transmission, and AI-driven process analysis, the FC-Inspector ensures that your operations run smoothly and safely.
Master extreme environments with our AI Powered FC-Inspector
The FC-Inspector is specifically engineered for extreme industrial conditions, offering reliable live image transmission even inside the harshest environments. Process ovens, alloy ladles, or slag processing are just some of the applications where the FC-Inspector shines. It is designed to handle ambient temperatures up to 2,000°C while remaining resistant to electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it ideal for industries where precise, real-time monitoring is crucial and supports improved process transparency and digitalization across multiple industries.
What sets the FC-Inspector apart is its ability to integrate temperature data and process parameters with a clear live video feed. This combined data can be used for AI-driven analysis, enabling smart, automated process adjustments. By providing raw data for machine learning, the system helps improve process optimization and ensures consistent product quality over time. Furthermore, this is an open software to ensure adaptable functionality through customization to meet specific requirements of your evolving processes.
The FC-Inspector features a high-resolution digital color camera with a durable, high-temperature-resistant stainless steel viewing tube (optional: Hastelloy® C-22). It also includes advanced water and air cooling system options to ensure uninterrupted operation, even in the most demanding scenarios. Additionally, it includes integrated redundancy features, such as automatic retraction in case of media failure and continuous monitoring of the camera’s cooling and air supply.
For seamless integration into your existing infrastructure, the FC-Inspector supports standardized industrial interfaces like OPC DA, OPC UA, Profibus, and ProfiNet. Ask our experts how you can implement the FC-Inspector in your plant and start getting results from day one!
