Overview
Steel is a fundamental raw material for the development of modern society. As a traditional manufacturing sector, the steel and metallurgical industry urgently needs digitalization, intelligence, and IoT-driven upgrades. By leveraging advanced technologies such as sensing and detection, soft measurement, machine vision, and data analytics, companies can achieve safe and precise intelligent production—improving quality, reducing costs, and ensuring safety. This is the core pathway for transformation and upgrading in steel enterprises.
Infrared thermal imaging technology enables long-distance, non-contact temperature measurement and is widely used throughout the entire steel production process. It provides critical support for production inspection, process control, and process optimization.

Steam Pipeline Leak Monitoring
Background
In steel plants, steam heating pipelines are commonly exposed to high-temperature and high-pressure steam. Over time, pipelines may rupture or insulation materials may deteriorate, leading to leaks during operation. This results in energy loss and serious safety hazards.
Pain Points
- Difficult fault localization and diagnosis
- Traditional temperature measurement is inefficient and non-intuitive

Solution
Infrared thermal cameras are optoelectronic devices that rapidly capture surface thermal data and visualize it as images, enabling quick fault localization and helping engineers efficiently inspect pipeline networks. Guide thermal cameras can easily capture clear visible and infrared comparison images, while MIF intelligent image processing technology enhances inspection efficiency and accuracy.
Portable and Handheld, Enabling Rapid Temperature Measurement
Intuitive Detection of Abnormal Conditions
Suitable for Multiple Scenarios and Fast Troubleshooting
High Efficiency and Rapid Inspection
Defect Detection for Steel Ladles and Torpedo Cars
Background
During steelmaking, ladles, torpedo cars, and slag pots are exposed to long-term operation, which may cause hidden risks such as wall thinning or cracks. These issues can lead to major safety incidents. Traditional monitoring relies on experience-based periodic replacement, which only shifts risks rather than eliminating them and lacks scientific maintenance.
Pain Points
- Traditional inspection relies on experience and suffers from low accuracy
- Manual inspection is inefficient and costly
- Safety risks for maintenance personnel
- Negative impact on production efficiency

Solution
Online thermal cameras provide 24/7 monitoring of ladles during operation, analyzing temperature differences and ensuring safe operation. Standardized surface temperature monitoring enables simple and direct ladle condition assessment.
Reduced Labor Costs and Improved Energy Efficiency
Simple, Intuitive, and Comprehensive Monitoring
Enhanced Safety and Improved Production Management
Converter Furnace Wall Monitoring
Background
During converter steelmaking, temperatures can reach approximately 1700°C. Over prolonged operation, the inner refractory materials suffer erosion and peeling, exposing steel plates to extreme heat and potentially causing burn-through accidents.
Pain Points
- Significant safety risks in high-temperature environments
- Low efficiency of experience-based manual judgment
- Limited monitoring methods

Solution
Thermal cameras monitor furnace wall temperature distribution in real time during steelmaking. Potential refractory lining hazards are detected early, enabling timely alarms and intervention.
Reduced Labor Costs and Improved Efficiency
Simple, Intuitive, and Comprehensive Monitoring
Hot Rolling Production Line Monitoring
Background
During hot rolling, slabs, rolled materials, roller tables, and equipment operate under high temperatures. Temperature anomalies, surface defects, and thermal losses can lead to rolling precision deviations, product quality defects, and equipment downtime. Traditional manual measurement is inaccurate and delayed, easily leading to quality problems and safety risks.
Pain Points
- High safety risks for inspection personnel
- Delayed defect warnings leading to defective products
- Unstable process control affecting production capacity
