HeatVue · The operating wall

Away from the heat. Closer to the furnace than ever.

HeatVue is the operating wall for the furnace — BOF or EAF. It moves the operator from the shop-floor pulpit to an immersive wall — every read they make by eye, now larger, sharper, and live.

The category

Not a video wall.

What the industry calls one is passive — it shows the furnace and stops there. HeatVue is an operating wall: it reads the heat the way you do, and puts a number behind the eye that has always been the most accurate instrument in the shop.

01 — The wall

The furnace, on the wall. Not through the glass.

High-resolution feeds — the mouth, the shell, the electrode and lance zones — hardened for the pulpit and rendered clean on one wall. Every zone of the furnace, the view you used to fight the glass for, now in front of you. The thing you can see today. Converter or arc furnace, the operating wall is the same: the furnace, legible.

The same pulpit video wall pointed at another furnace — its mouth glowing on the panels. — Converter or arc furnace — and the same wall extends to the reheat furnace, the caster, the ladle. The wall doesn't care which furnace it watches.

02 — The latency

Live enough to run the heat on.

Ultra-low latency, lens to screen — not a feed you watch, but the furnace itself, now, immediate enough to act on as if you were at the window. Redundant hot-standby compute behind it: no blind heat if a node drops mid-heat.

03 — The reads

You've always read the furnace by eye.

Every operator does. On the converter, the flame at the mouth carries the decarburization in real time — while the off-gas reading, by contrast, arrives late, describing a bath that has already moved on. On the arc furnace, the foam, the arc, the glow of the panels tell you where the heat is. The experienced operator reads them and acts. That eye has always been the most accurate instrument in the shop. It has just never had a number behind it.

HeatVue makes those reads legible — flame, refractory, electrode, foam, slag — grounded in the physics each one obeys. It does not promise the heat; the bath, the lining, and the electrode decide that. It gives the operator one more independent read, in the moments his instruments are weakest. The call stays his.

Better information, when it matters most.
The reads you trust it with are yours to choose —
HeatVue's job is to make sure each one arrives while it can still change the heat.

04 — Over time

It becomes the expert on your furnace.

HeatVue starts as the wall — the furnace, legible, today. Heat after heat, on your shop's practice and your furnace's own history, the reads sharpen. What begins as showing you the furnace grows, over time, into reading it with you: an expert operator's assistant that earns the floor.

The call stays yours.
The assistant just keeps getting better at your furnace.

05 — On the floor

Honest about where it is.
