Operators cannot visually distinguish between molten metal and molten salt in a furnace at 1050°C, risking process errors or safety hazards.
No existing solution reliably differentiates materials at extreme temperatures when both glow identically.

App Concept
MeltEye Thermal ID
A non-contact sensor system that uses multi-spectral thermal analysis or electromagnetic property measurement (e.g., electrical conductivity) to instantly classify molten material as metal or salt at >1000°C. Provides a clear green/red indicator in the operator's HUD or control panel.
Key Features
- Real-time material classification via spectral signature analysis
- Non-contact, high-temperature rated sensor probe
- Visual or audible warning when unexpected material detected
- Integration with furnace control systems for automatic shutdown
Target Users: Furnace operators and plant managers in high-temperature metal or salt processing industries (e.g., aluminum smelting, solar salt storage, chemical manufacturing) at mid-to-large scale facilities.
Revenue Model: One-time hardware sale ($5,000-$15,000 per unit) plus optional $200/mo software subscription for analytics and calibration updates.
