Melt-Manager® Plus® Control Systems provide a higher level of melt automation technology to support furnace melt controls, diagnostic analysis and customer network, and communication interface.
Melt-Manager® Plus® Control Systems are computer-based applications that are formatted for touch-screen, flat-panel computers, and provide an “easy to use” graphic interface, where most screens are accessed with a single touch. The graphic screens will assist the operator throughout the complete melting process.
Melt Control Modes for kWh Melting:
Assists in accurately reaching the desired pouring temperature with hold-power setting; optimizes power usage and reduces electric utility charges; includes cold start scheduling for pre-heating the furnace to improve production efficiency, and for sintering, for reducing manpower requirements and improving lining life.
Data History and Trending:
Provides automatic collection of operational data that can be displayed on trend charts to provide operators and managers with a graphical rendering of the melt system’s daily operational history.
Events and Alarm Logging:
Records and displays the system’s alarm and events history from a date calendar, providing operators and managers with a clear view of daily operations, making it easy to identify utilization factors, overall production efficiency and any operational delays.
Diagnostic Screens:
Offers complete system I/O signal diagnostic information available via a comprehensive color coded screen to explore troubleshooting processes and provide inverter information and communications activity.
Ethernet Industrial Protocol:
For customer systems to gain access to melt process run-time and diagnostic data formatted for PLCs and Host Computer Systems.

Melt-Monitor™ System
Inductotherm’s optional Melt-Monitor™ system provides data display and data reporting only without the control and interactive features available to the melt operator when using the Melt-Manager Plus® operating control system. This system is ideal for the monitoring of melt operation from local or remote locations via Ethernet or dial-up. Now you can check out your melt shop’s performance, whether it is located around the corner, in a different state or on a different continent.
