What is Thru-Process Temperature Profiling ?
Thru-Process Temperature Profiling Technology records the temperature profile of products throughout the entire furnace or oven process without stopping the equipment or running external cables.
Today, this technology has advanced significantly with the integration of RF Telemetry, enabling real-time monitoring of temperature data during production. This allows manufacturers to control product quality more accurately, efficiently, and safely.
Portable Modular RF Network – The Core of RF Telemetry
✅ Modular RF Routers
The RF routers/repeaters are designed to be portable, requiring no hard wiring and no external power. They can be installed exactly where needed and easily moved as requirements change.
✅ Flexible & Scalable
As production layouts or furnace zones change, users can relocate routers instantly or expand the RF network to extend data coverage without permanent installation.
✅ Long-Distance Data Transfer
The system can connect routers in a “router chain” to transmit data directly from inside the furnace to a remote control office, enabling monitoring and process control from a safe and convenient location.
✅ Multi-Zone & Multi-Furnace Operation
The PhoenixTM RF Network supports both multiple isolated batch furnaces, with repeaters placed at desired monitoring points, and continuous furnaces with multiple zones, such as conveyor or annealing lines.
Benefits of the Wireless RF System
Real-Time Monitoring: Track temperature data instantly during the process without waiting for the cycle to finish.
Flexible Installation: Portable routers can be placed exactly where needed, moved easily, and expanded as production changes.
No Cabling Required: Eliminates the need for hard wiring or external power, reducing setup time and complexity.
Reliable Data Capture: Automatic Catch-up functionality ensures any lost data is recovered, guaranteeing 100% process data completeness.
Remote Control & Safety: Data can be monitored and controlled from a safe, convenient remote office, reducing operator exposure to high-temperature environments.
Supports Multi-Zone & Multi-Furnace Operations: Works with both continuous furnaces with multiple zones and isolated batch furnaces.
Conclusion
PhoenixTM features a two-way RF system that allows you to monitor product temperatures in real time as they pass through furnaces or ovens, without waiting for the process to finish.
Users can configure, reset, or download data at any time, enabling immediate process control and adjustments.
With a multi-point RF Mesh network, data is continuously transmitted without the need for cabling.
The system also includes an automatic “Catch-up” function to recover any lost data as soon as the signal is restored, ensuring 100% complete process data every time.
