ThermoGuard / Industrial assets

Know it works, not just that it's energized.

ThermoGuard is our wireless IP68 node that measures temperature, humidity, current, and status signals right at the asset.

It installs without running cable or stopping the process, transmits over BLE to VigiaBOX, and turns amps and degrees into conditions your operations team understands.

01 / The problem

Energized isn't the same as protected.

The plant is instrumented, but many auxiliary systems are still blind spots. The control system reports the command; in the field, something else may be happening.

Auxiliary system What the control system reports What's happening in the field
Heat tracing Circuit energized Normal current, no temperature response
Room ventilation Command ON Exhaust fan drawing no current: 0.0 A
Line insulation No signal Abnormal moisture under the insulation
02 / What it measures

Four signals per circuit, in a single node.

Status, current draw, thermal response, and ambient conditions, measured right at the asset. The same hardware adapts to each load with a different profile.

ThermoGuard / PuertosNodo ThermoGuard con pinza de corriente, sensor de temperatura y humedad y dos termocuplas conectadas
IP68 node · BLE · six configurable ports
P1 · P2

Type K/J thermocouples.

Temperature on the line or on critical surfaces, at process points that need a wider range.

P3

Circuit current.

Non-invasive CT clamp that measures RMS current without breaking or modifying the circuit.

P5

Temperature and humidity.

Ambient or under the insulation, to catch abnormal moisture early.

P4 · P6

Configurable inputs.

10K NTC thermistor, low-voltage analog, or dry contact for run and fault status. In the thermal profile, one node handles up to 6 temperature and 2 humidity channels.

03 / How we interpret it

From data to the condition you need to check.

ThermoGuard cross-checks what should be happening against what is actually happening. VigiaBOX applies the rules at the edge, and every alarm arrives with the reason behind it.

  1. Circuit ON + 0 ACheck the circuit
  2. Normal current + no temperature responseCheck thermal performance
  3. Abnormal moisture under the insulationPrioritize inspection

Illustrative example: at 03:15 the current drops to 0 A with the command ON. The alarm gives you 1 h 35 min to act before the line reaches 0 °C.
04 / From the node to your operation

Observes and integrates, without replacing your PLC or SIS.

ThermoGuard measures right at the asset. VigiaBOX gathers the data from each zone, buffers the history through outages, and delivers it to the local HMI, the web platform, or your systems. Primary protection stays with the local equipment, the PLC, or the SIS.

Your systems

  1. Assets with ThermoGuard

    Heat-traced lines, panels, motors, and pumps, with a node next to each asset.

  2. BLE · up to 50 m

    No field wiring: each node transmits to its zone gateway.

  3. Zone VigiaBOX

    Edge rules, power backup, and a local buffer during outages.

  4. Local HMI

    10" screen in the enclosure to run the zone even if the link drops.

  5. Web platform

    Supervision by plant, area, and asset, with every event in context.

  6. Your systems

    SCADA or your cloud, over API or MQTT.

05 / Applications

The same logic, for dozens of auxiliary loads.

We do not turn VigiaBOX into a PLC: we check that simple electrical loads are available and respond as they should. The heat tracing application is already running in the field; other loads are added on a per-project basis.

Heat tracing

Current, line temperature, and humidity under the insulation, circuit by circuit.

Field-proven

Panel health

Cabinet heater, ventilation, temperature, humidity, and auxiliary power.

Motor anti-condensation

Motor stopped, heater required, and actual heater current.

Oil and tank heaters

Current, heat-up time, and target temperature.

Pumps and sumps

Run, fault, current, and cycles for each unit.

UPS and control power supplies

Status, backup, and condition of the auxiliary power.

06 / Field-proven

Proven where plant conditions are most demanding.

ThermoGuard already runs on heat-traced lines at a gold and silver mine in the high Andes of northern Chile.

What defines each installation.

Profiles, thresholds, and scope are defined with each plant, on the same hardware.

Installation Pipe-mounted bracket with metal clamps; thermocouples secured with aluminum tape; humidity sensor inside the insulation. No field wiring, no process shutdown

Does it replace the PLC, DCS, or SIS?

No. Primary protection stays with the local equipment, the PLC, or the SIS. ThermoGuard adds visibility, context, and history.

Does every point need wiring?

No. Each node transmits over BLE to its zone's VigiaBOX. Only the gateway needs power.

What happens if the network or power goes down?

VigiaBOX has backup power and keeps the history locally, resending it when the link returns.

Can I add instruments I already have?

Yes. VigiaBOX accepts 4–20 mA, Modbus, and digital inputs, including certified third-party detectors.
