We are seeking high-temperature visual inspection solutions to detect refractory damage, cracks and material build-up inside blast furnace blowstock and bustle main during shutdowns at temperatures of ~800-1000°C.

We are seeking the solution which should operate reliably under continuous production conditions and enable timely intervention before coolant carryover impacts product quality downstream. The solution should be scalable across multiple rolling mill lines.

We are seeking solution for automated, non-contact measurement of all critical vehicle dimensional parameters while the vehicle is moving on the assembly line conveyor before dispatch to ensure compliance with Vehicle pass off norms (VPN).

Taphole drill alignment is currently verified manually near the blast furnace front, exposing operators to high temperatures and relying heavily on operator judgement. We seek an automated solution to identify the taphole centre, verify drill tool orientation and seating, and provide real-time alignment feedback, improving safety, drilling consistency, and operational reliability.

Plain bearing conditions are monitored manually or with basic tools, which often fail to detect early signs of wear, resulting in unexpected failures and costly repairs. At the start and end of rotation, when the shaft speed is low, boundary lubrication occurs, causing intermittent contact between the Roll Shaft and the plain bearing, leading to wear over time. A solution is needed for real-time, accurate, non-intrusive condition monitoring that can withstand high temperatures (45-80°C) and harsh environments.
