Continuous Monitoring of Metallurgical Processes

Precise, fail-safe methods of measurement and evaluation are needed for the continuous monitoring and analysis of metallurgical processes. We support our partners with tailored solutions, from planning through to complete realisation. Forming the basis of our process analysis systems are modern, trend-setting sensor technologies that integrate reliable standards and application-specific components.

Focal points of our work:
• Continuous measuring methods for melts
• Continuous monitoring of relevant process stages in the making and
  processing of steel and associated fields
• Process optimisation through development and use of exact and
  fail-safe sensor systems
