AB An industrial wireless monitoring and control system, capable of supporting energyharvestingdevices through smart sensing and network management, designed for improving electrorefineryperformance by applying predictive maintenance, is presented. The system is self-poweredfrom bus bars, and features wireless communication and easy-to-access information and alarms. Withcell voltage and electrolyte temperature measurements, the system enables real-time cell performancediscovery and early reaction to critical production or quality disturbances such as short-circuiting,flow blockages, or electrolyte temperature excursions. Field validation shows an increase in operationalperformance of 30% (reaching 97%) in the detection of short circuits, which, thanks to a neuralnetwork deployed, are detected, on average, 10.5 h earlier compared to the traditional methodology.The developed system is a sustainable IoT solution, being easy to maintain after its deployment, andproviding benefits of improved control and operation, increased current efficiency, and decreasedmaintenance costs.
