Industries · Furnaces & boilers
Flowtics for furnaces & boilers. Every zone, every burner, watched around the clock.
Flowtics reads the PLC on furnaces, boilers and ovens and shows temperatures, pressures and burner hours live. When a value leaves its band, the right person hears about it at once, day or night.
Running today on 100+ paper and packaging machines at 29 sites. Machines in this industry are set up the same way; we check yours on the free visit.

The machines
Built for the machines you run.

Heat-treatment furnaces
Zone temperatures, soak times and every batch.
Steam boilers
Steam pressure, feed-water level and firing hours.
Thermic fluid heaters
Inlet and outlet temperatures, pump status and fuel.
Industrial ovens and dryers
Temperature bands, fan status and cycle time.
Melting and holding furnaces
Bath temperature, power and holding time.
Hot water generators
Outlet temperature, burner hours and faults.
What Flowtics reads
The numbers your work runs on.
Read straight from the PLC, shown live and kept for reports. If a reading isn’t in your PLC, we tell you on the free visit.
- 01
Zone temperatures
Each zone live, against the band you set for it.
- 02
Pressure and level
Steam pressure and feed-water level, with the limit drawn on the trend.
- 03
Burner hours and starts
Firing, holding and off time, so service follows real use.
- 04
Fuel and energy
Gas, oil or kWh per day and per batch, where a meter is connected.
- 05
Batch and soak times
How long each batch soaked, and whether it stayed in its band.
- 06
Faults and trips
Flame failures and trips, with the time, how long, and what came before.
Alarms and rules
The right person hears first.
You set the limits, and who is told on which channel. These are the alarms teams in this industry usually start with.

Who it’s for
Whether you build these machines or run them.
If you build them
- See every furnace and boiler you have installed, live, at every site.
- Plan AMC visits on real burner hours instead of the calendar.
- Read the fault before you travel, and send the right engineer with the right part.
If you run them
- Fuel per batch and per day, so you see which furnace costs the most to run.
- Every temperature excursion on record, ready for your audits and your customers.
- Night-shift alarms reach the right phone, not a hooter nobody hears.
