Designed to supply four key benefits to customers:
Tuning speeds: Average 70% reduction in tuning time
Tuning accuracy: Tolerances beyond ±5°F for Class I furnaces
Product quality: Consistently produce reliable parts
Real-time data & analytics: Accessible anytime, anywhere
Using its patent pending algorithms, the tuning accuracy of the North American CertiFire® surpasses manual tuning, with the ability to tune a Class IV (±20°F) furnace beyond the temperature uniformity of Class I (±5°F). "We expected automation to help us tune faster than by hand," said Justin Dzik, Manager of Business Development at Fives North American Combustion, "but after testing we were able to see just how big of an impact this technology will have on the industry." Through advanced data processing and real-time analytics, the CertiFire® gives insight into degradation, expected maintenance, predicted failures and a smarter recertification window. Enter Industry 4.0 with the North American CertiFire® to resolve your furnace temperature disparities.
