The newly developed electronic products of Steel Authority of India (SAIL) have proved their supremacy over conventional one in the domain of Process Automation, Dimensional Measurement, Quality control, Safety. Since long time industries are striving for low cost, precise, reliable sensors which can work under extreme heat, flame, water, dust, fume for tracking the metal in their different rolling mills, caster, and furnaces. It is well known that Steel plants are loosing good quality of steel as scrap due to lag of accurate, reliable dimensional measuring systems. The paper describes how SAIL has overcame on these problems by developing three different sensors namely SAILPHOS, SAILCHOS, SAILWOS for metal tracking and they are working satisfactorily in process control in different parts of India as well as neighbouring countries. The advance version of these sensors are useful in dimensional measurement for Rails, blooms, slabs, billet, plates and have reduced the wastage of high quality steel. After implementing these sensing and measuring products of SAIL at different places, a total monetary benefit in the tune of several trillion of Rs is worked out.
