A team led by an Oak Ridge National Laboratory researcher is testing wireless sensors that could help the steel industry save money and reduce energy use and emissions.
Led by ORNL’s Glenn Allgood, the team recently installed these wireless sensors at Commercial Metals Co. in Cayce, S.C. The sensors are designed to withstand harsh conditions and provide instant information that will improve monitoring and control of a steel mill’s equipment, according to information provided by ORNL.
