Currently, many companies plan maintenance periods for their furnaces based solely on a fixed schedule.

Now, using data collected by the new tools offered by Industry 4.0, it is already possible to improve these maintenance plans to make them predictive wich means operators can act at the most...

The PLC (programmable logic controller) is the device responsible for controlling furnace processes. A PLC has complex data acquisition systems, remote access and event alert capabilities.

Learn more about PLCs, their advantages and their importance in furnace combustion processes.

Our industrial kilns are specially designed to optimize energy efficiency by various means, one of the main opportunities being the recuperation of heat normally lost through the exhaust flue during the combustion process.

At Nutec Bickley we work with different tools that allow us to generate substantial savings and to increase process efficiency for our clients.
