While our thermal mapping and modeling solutions were initially developed to monitor refractory-lined thermal processing vessels, there are numerous other potential applications across various industries. A more complete list is below...

• Refractory-Lined Systems
• Photovoltaic Systems
• Wind Turbines
• Electrical Infrastructure
• Equipment Monitoring
• Material Defect Identification
• Thermal Efficiency Audits

Our technology is versatile and can be adapted to various applications where temperature monitoring is crucial.  We are always excited to explore new opportunities and use cases.  If you have one, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Temperature models of the thermal envelop of a refractory-lined vessel can be used to identify hazardous conditions via comparison to physics-based models and can even be used to evaluate lining integrity while the process is in operation and from the outside using non-contact sensors.

Additionally changes in temperature can be monitored over time with PLUME DIGITAL's patent pending methodologies.

Our experience is predominately in the use of LiDAR, infrared, and camera-based sensors as inputs for photogrammetry.  While these sensors can also be utilized manually by a technician, PLUME DIGITAL typically opts for utilizing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to take advantage of autonomous data collection.

We pride ourselves in working with spatial datasets like point-cloud, mesh, or splats.  While autonomous data collection and generation of 3D models is impressive, it only represents the first stage or your digital transformation which is a purely descriptive system.  Analysis to compare and trend using these newly generated models is how PLUME DIGITAL can help your company move towards a predictive system and its economic value.

We intend to meeting whatever our customers specifications are.  3D Models can be embedded in basic .pdf reports or hosted on a password protected cloud-based viewing platform.  Additionally if higher security is necessary this viewing platform can be upgraded to an “on premises” installation.
