THE CHALLENGE

Sandvik has, for years, delivered highly specialized tubes used in the processing industry. Their customers are in need of usage data, but no external sensors can survive in these extreme environments.

THE SOLUTION

Sandvik has developed and patented a specialized technique for placing sensors for temperature, bending and vibrations within the tube walls. These integrated sensors are then connected to an IoT gateway that processes the data. After that, the data is sent to a platform for handling and storage.

THE GOOD EFFECT

Customers can now get insight into parts of the process that before were unknown. This innovation makes it possible to fine-tune processes, increase efficiency, lower emissions, and save money and time on effective management.
