Despite the robustness of their three batch IQ furnaces, T.T.M. Trattamenti Termici dei Metalli Srl identified an opportunity to redefine their approach to furnace controls and automation and partnered with UPC-Marathon, a Nitrex company, to breathe new life into their aging systems. The project entailed the installation of control cabinets equipped with advanced process controllers, the integration of the controllers into a SCADA system for advanced monitoring and control capabilities. To complement T.T.M.’s technological upgrades, UPC-Marathon also installed a new gas cabinet.
“This strategic investment in modernizing the furnace controls with UPC-Marathon proved not only highly effective in resolving immediate challenges with aging controls but also more cost-effective than replacing the three furnaces,” said Daniel Panny, product manager and head of UPC-Marathon Europe.
