Product overview
The CL-Inspector is a software suite, tailored to the static conditions of the trolley position. The software interprets infrared thermal data with contextual intelligence, adjusting for factors such as temperature gradients and the unique heat distribution seen during metal pouring.
Up to five high-performance thermal imaging cameras capture detailed surface temperature maps in real time. The system continuously tracks each ladle’s thermal footprint, automatically detecting irregularities and triggering immediate alerts if a dangerous hotspot is found. All without interrupting the casting workflow.
The client/server architecture of CL-Inspector ensures plant-wide access and customizable visualizations. Operators can monitor ladles remotely and in real time, with advanced SQL data storage enabling integration into existing dashboards, digital twins, and predictive maintenance tools powered by AI or machine learning. The intuitive interface also ensures that operators spend less time navigating screens and more time preventing problems.
