American Control & Engineering Service faced a challenge with their furnace operations due to limitations in their existing controller. The process efficiency was hindered as the furnace required pre-cooling to prevent temperature overshoot during recovery. Ross Lumbert, the president of the company, identified this as a critical bottleneck.
The introduction of the Eurotherm 3504 controller and a custom-developed software solution revolutionized their process. They achieved controlled temperature recovery without the need for pre-cooling, thereby enhancing production throughput and eliminating unnecessary delays, marking a significant success in operational efficiency.
