- A remote engineering solution for automating a roller hearth kilnPublication . Silva, Juarez; Fischer, Benedito R.; Alves, Gustavo R.; Alves, João B.We present the architecture for a remote application, accessible through the Internet, able to monitor and control a roller hearth kiln, used in a ceramics industry for firing materials. The proposed architecture is based on a Micro Web Server (MWS), whose main function is to monitor and control the firing process, by reading the data from a series of temperature sensors and by controlling a series of electronic valves and servo motors. This solution is also intended to be a low-cost alternative to other potential solutions. For better understanding the system to be automated and its operation we decided to develop a scale model (100:1) and experiment on it the devised solution, based on a MWS.
