Bus Duct Monitoring in Factory
Bus Duct Monitoring in Factory Linkou, Taiwan AP Sensing was selected to provide a Linear Heat Detection (LHD) solution for Nanya Technology at its Linkou, Taiwan factory. Nanya Technology produces DRAM and recently built a new memory production line at its Linkou factory, with 32 new bus ducts added to the production lines. The operator previously used a daily thermography service to manually inspect the temperature of the bus ducts for safety. However, due to their complex installation layout, this alone did not enable Nanya Technology to sufficiently monitor the temperature of each joint between the bus ducts. Joints are the most critical part of a bus duct and cause overheating and fires when loose or faulty. Now, AP S en si ng ’ s Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) technology cont
