Direct Integration

Connects to the Controllers You Already Have

PlantPulse doesn't require ripping out your existing infrastructure. We plug directly into your Honeywell, Siemens, and Fireye controllers to extract real-time data and apply AI analytics on top.

Honeywell

Flame Safeguard & BMS

Full integration with Honeywell's boiler management and flame safeguard systems, including the 7800 Series relay modules and RM7800/RM7840 controllers.

Supported Controllers7800 Series, RM7800, RM7840
Data PointsFlame signal, lockout history, purge timing, air/fuel ratio
ProtocolModbus RTU / BACnet IP

What PlantPulse Detects

  • Flame signal degradation trending toward lockout
  • Ignition sequence timing anomalies
  • Air/fuel ratio drift causing inefficiency
  • Recurring lockout pattern recognition

Siemens

Combustion Controls & PLCs

Deep integration with Siemens LMV combustion management systems and S7 PLCs powering your boiler operations, including the LMV5 and LMV3 series.

Supported ControllersLMV5, LMV3, S7-1200, S7-1500
Data PointsO₂ trim, stack temp, modulation rate, firing rate
ProtocolProfinet / Modbus TCP / OPC-UA

What PlantPulse Detects

  • Combustion efficiency degradation over time
  • O₂ trim sensor drift before false readings
  • Modulation valve wear from position hunting
  • Stack temperature anomalies indicating tube fouling

Fireye

Flame Safeguard & Scanners

Complete integration with Fireye flame safeguard controls and UV/IR scanners, including the NexusHD, BurnerLogix, and YB110 series for real-time flame quality analytics.

Supported ControllersNexusHD, BurnerLogix, YB110, E110
Data PointsFlame intensity, scanner signal, lockout events, cycle timing
ProtocolModbus RTU / RS-485

What PlantPulse Detects

  • Scanner lens contamination from signal attenuation trends
  • Flame instability patterns preceding lockout
  • Ignition electrode degradation via spark-to-flame timing
  • Fuel valve response time deterioration
The Real Cost

What a Boiler Failure Actually Costs

Most facilities only account for repair costs. The true impact of an unplanned boiler shutdown is 5-10x higher when you factor in production loss, emergency labor, and regulatory consequences.

Early Detection

How PlantPulse Catches Problems Before They Escalate

Traditional monitoring waits for alarms. PlantPulse AI watches every data point continuously, identifying subtle deviations that signal developing issues days or weeks in advance.

Weeks before failure

Pattern Detected

PlantPulse AI identifies a subtle shift in flame signal variance during high-fire operation. Standard alarms see nothing — the values are still within normal range.

AI Detection Only
Days before failure

Trend Confirmed

The AI correlates declining flame signal with increasing ignition trial time. A degradation trend is confirmed and a report is generated with recommended maintenance actions.

Report Sent
Hours before failure

Alert Triggered

Flame signal crosses PlantPulse's predictive threshold (still above the controller's alarm point). Smart alert sent to maintenance team with root cause analysis and urgency level.

Smart Alert
Point of failure

Avoided: Lockout / Shutdown

Without PlantPulse, this is where the boiler locks out. Production stops. Emergency calls go out. With PlantPulse, the scanner was already cleaned during a scheduled window — zero impact.

Prevented
Return on Investment

PlantPulse Pays for Itself Within Months

15-25%Reduction in annual boiler maintenance costs through planned vs. emergency repairs
8-12%Improvement in fuel efficiency by detecting combustion drift and air/fuel ratio imbalances
3,200+Hours of production uptime saved annually per facility through predictive maintenance
30-50%Reduction in boiler-related insurance claims and risk exposure with documented monitoring
What's Included

Everything You Need for Smarter Boiler Operations
