TMAS monitors the temperatures at different zones in a glass melting system and alert the operator when the temperature exceeds a pre-determined limit, which is programmed into the microprocessor based system depending on the type of glass being processed.

The system also acts as a Management Information System, which could be effectively utilised for proper and timely decision making with regard to preventive maintenance, raw material feeding rate/sequence, reversal time for regenerator, etc.

Salient Features:

• Reduction of CNG consumption
• Improved life for the pots in a furnace
• Lesser downtime
• Increased furnace life
• Improved product quality due to minimum temperature fluctuation
• Lesser rejections
• Excess air could be limited through optimisation
• Improvement in environmental conditions
• Additional input for managerial control & decision-making
• Eliminates manual data logging which is prone to errors, particularly during the night shift operations
• An operator-friendly tool for furnace operation
• Data logging for longer periods could suggest new avenues for further energy conservation and over all improvement
• Option to determine the optimal regenerator reversal time based on the regenerator temperature profile
• Increased productivity and profitability help to face competition in the scenario of globilisation/ liberalisation
