Wireless tankhouse monitoring

MIPAC has launched CellView, a wireless solution to automate cell condition monitoring in tankhouse operations. CellView is designed to enable customers to achieve optimum production, quality, safety and environmental standards. It combines wireless technology with a robust design to increase the efficiency and profitability of electro-refining and -winning operations.

The CellView system consists of wireless cell monitors communicating via a mesh network to a central operator interface. It makes use of long-life sensors and a robust upper level communication system which uses the mesh networking devices to provide continuous online monitoring.

CellView provides continuous, real-time monitoring of cell performance, enables increased production through early detection of process problems, reduces maintenance and implementation costs, particularly compared to hard-wired systems, and is at least 25% smaller than alternatives and therefore uses much less of the precious real estate in a tankhouse.
