Tap Out Alerts

Fioscope cameras are more than just powerful visual tools—they are intelligent systems designed to optimize process control and enhance operator support. In scenarios where a melting or holding furnace is filled with molten metal, there is a risk that the tap-out port could be breached, leading to dangerous leaks or spills. Traditionally, operators might only notice a leak by chance, such as while walking past or preparing the launder or casting pit for casting.

With Fioscope’s advanced tap-out detection, cameras can proactively alert operators and cast house management via text notifications, prompting immediate checks of the tap-out port. Early detection of leaks can prevent costly outcomes, including aborted casts, downtime caused by molten metal spillage, and, most importantly, risks to operator safety. This innovative feature ensures a safer and more efficient casting process.
