In the steel industry, even a few degrees can determine the success or failure of casting, rolling, or quenching. Manual temperature checks using handheld pyrometers or spot sensors are often delayed, inaccurate, or dangerously close to molten zones.Hot Metal Temperature Validation uses non-contact thermal imaging and AI analysis to provide continuous, real-time monitoring of molten metal and hot surfaces, ensuring exact thermal thresholds are maintained at each critical step, from ladle to line.
Handheld devices offer point readings that dont reflect true thermal spread or gradient.
Close-proximity measurements expose workers to extreme heat and radiant zones.
Failure to maintain optimal temperatures leads to poor grain structure or unwanted defects.
Temperature anomalies are often detected too late, after casting or forming errors have occurred.
Monitors temperature across entire metal surfaces using AI-enabled thermal cameras.
Alerts operators instantly when metal temperatures move beyond safe ranges.
Provides heat distribution maps to detect hotspots, cold zones, and uneven thermal flows.
Syncs with casting or rolling controls to auto-adjust feed rates or cooling cycles.
We begin by identifying key stages where temperature accuracy is essential, such as ladle pouring, tundish levels, rolling exit, or pre-quench zones.
Thermal cameras are selected and calibrated for extreme heat ranges (800°C 1650°C) and placed at safe, shielded observation points using industrial-grade enclosures.
AI models are trained on visual + thermal data to correlate metal color, glow, and behavior with accurate temperature bands across steel grades and process variations.
Live thermal maps and status alerts are integrated with the control room interface. Auto-alerts are triggered for overheating, heat loss, or uneven flow, enabling timely intervention.

Some achievements do not arrive with loud announcements or dramatic celebrations. They arrive quietly, almost gently, carrying a kind of weight that only people close to the work fully understand. WebOccult’s Best Paper recognition at the IEEE was one such moment. Out of more than 450 research papers submitted from across the world, only five […]

People usually don’t think about logistics until there’s a delay in order delivery. On the other hand, there are millions of products that move across borders every single day, as their journey includes going through different ports, warehouses and distribution centres before the product reaches its respective owner. So there’s a lot that happens behind […]

When we discuss the ways to improve quality in factories today, one solution that often comes up is Computer Vision in manufacturing. Supervising a production line makes it clear how easily small issues can go unnoticed. A small crack, a misplaced center label, or a missing screw may seem irrelevant, but these small problems can […]
