How do you prevent short circuits or fires in electrical cabinets?
In steel mills, hundreds of electrical control cabinets are in operation – often in dusty, hot, and difficult-to-access environments. If a cabinet is not properly closed or the temperature rises too high, malfunctions or even fires can occur. This has direct consequences for safety and the continuity of the production process.
The biggest risks:
- Poor ventilation → overheating of components
- Accumulation of dust and dirt → short circuit and fire hazard
- Faulty connections or overload → temperature rise and system failure
These risks are often invisible, but predictable - with the right sensors.
Solution: Neuron Cabinet Safety
TheNeuron Cabinet Safetyis specially developed for industrial environments such as the steel industry. This smart IoT sensor combines two crucial functions:
- Temperature monitoring– detects overheating due to faulty connections or poor ventilation
- Door detection- warns immediately if a control cabinet is not properly closed
The sensor measures the temperature and door status every 3 seconds. In case of critical deviations, an alert is sent immediately. This prevents damage to installations and increases the safety of your personnel.
- 53%: Less unplanned downtime– through early detection of overheating
- 24/7 monitoring – for maximum security and peace of mind
- Identify problems in the electrical system
- Warning if the cabinet door is left open
- 79% fewer defects– thanks to continuous monitoring of critical components
- 79% fewer defects– thanks to continuous monitoring of critical components
Graph: Practical example of preventing malfunctions in cabinet enclosures using IoT sensors
During a production shutdown over the Christmas holidays, the temperature in a cabinet unexpectedly began to rise. The cause? A clogged filter on the circulation fan. Thanks to the sensor, the problem was detected early – even before production restarted.
