Smart Thermal Event Alert & Control Modules for Industrial Safety
Precision modules detecting and responding to thermal anomalies with automated control and alerting—empowering industrial operations across North America. 5r5r
Overview
Thermal event alert & control modules act as intelligent sentinels in temperature-critical environments, continuously comparing sensor data against programmed thresholds. This page explores their ability to trigger automated actions—like shutdowns, alarms, or system responses—when unsafe thermal conditions occur. These systems enhance reliability, protect assets, and reduce risk through rapid automation and control.
Serving B2B clients across North America, Thermal Measurement Devices provides event alert modules engineered for demanding industrial settings. Built in Dallas with a commitment to innovation, QA, and support, our modules integrate seamlessly with control systems and IoT platforms. With proactive automation and real-time monitoring, organizations can minimize downtime, improve safety, and ensure compliance.

Case Studies
U.S. Case Study 1 – Industrial Oven Shutdown, Michigan
A manufacturing plant used alert modules to automatically cut power when oven temperature exceeded safety limits. This prevented equipment damage and reduced fire risk.
U.S. Case Study 2 – Cold Storage Monitoring, Georgia
A perishable goods warehouse deployed modules to trigger backup cooling systems when temperature thresholds were breached, preventing inventory spoilage.
Canadian Case Study – Power Plant Transformer Protection, Alberta
A utility in Alberta integrated alert modules into its transformer network. Early thermal fault detection allowed proactive maintenance, avoiding outages.
