OndoSense radar sensors are widely used in the metallurgical industry, from the production of steel, copper, and aluminum in blast furnaces and continuous casting plants to the hot and cold rolling of metal parts such as slabs, steel beams, long and flat profiles, and sheet piling. They are also used in metal processing on coating, cutting, and dividing lines.

Our sensors provide precise width and thickness measurement of semi-finished metals, non-contact monitoring of molten metals, and positioning of steel strips in coating lines. Innovative radar technology works reliably even in challenging environments with smoke, steam, fire, heat, and dirt.

OndoSense solutions reduce steel, aluminum, and copper waste, lower production costs in rolling mills, and help mitigate CO₂ emissions in the metalworking industry.
