One of the issues with a Hot-Box is lack of knowing if the heaters are working or not. One of my customers had pipes freeze twice. Each time it was between $10,000 to $15, 000 to repair the frozen pipes. By installing a light bar and PLC with thermistor we are able to monitor the temperatures. With the extra ethernet wireless link option and Cloud based monitoring we are able to monitor and notify the customer of any issues.
Using a Ethernet RF link we are able to span to the building 650 feet away to allow network capiility, including email, cloud monitoring, remote monitoring from the shop, and remote updates to the PLC.
If you would like more information on our cloud based or standalone monitoring units please contact kkkerr@kerrtechgroup.com or call at (716) 982-2721
