GESOTEC Soft and Hardware

What GESOTEC Soft and Hardware does

GESOTEC Soft- und Hardware GmbH is a German private limited company headquartered in Griesheim, Germany, founded in 1981 (incorporated 1982), that designs, manufactures, and integrates industrial Pyro-Process Condition Monitoring systems built on multispectral visual and thermal imaging sensors. Its core technology combines infrared cameras (MWIR, SWIR, NIR), high-temperature furnace-probe CCTV cameras covering UV through LWIR wavelengths (0.3µm to 14µm), gas analyzers (CO, NO, O2), and proprietary fiber-optic data-links, networked via an Ethernet-based SCADA platform (PCMx-FaSu.NETx). The flagship PyroViper cameras use a single advanced borescope optics integrating up to three focal-plane array sensors to function as application-adapted imaging spectrometers, while the Millennium TMCx-xD line scan cameras are backward compatible with legacy AGEMA Thermoprofile-THP5/6/7 industrial standards for kiln shell temperature monitoring.

The company sells custom-engineered hardware, software licenses (VIPER image processing, TCEM kiln surveillance), and tailored integration services directly to heavy-industry end users, and licenses its technology to OEM partners—most notably Siemens AG, FLSmidth, and Krupp-Polysius—who rebrand and bundle GESOTEC products under trade names (GTCS, DAP, KTS-ME, CEMAT-SCAN, TCEM-NT, KTCx.NET, KTSx.NET) into their own equipment offerings. Vertical focus is on cement and lime, pulp and paper, power generation, waste incineration, chemical/petrochemical, steel, and glass operations requiring continuous high-temperature process monitoring. Sales coverage is described as worldwide.

GESOTEC operates as a privately-held GmbH with four Managing Directors (Alberto Cribeiro, Aribert Haeuser, Jens Haeuser, Kerstin Matt), no disclosed external institutional investment, and wholly-owned US subsidiaries in Naples, Florida (GESOTEC Industrial Technologies Inc., established 1989 in Atlanta and relocated 2018; GESOTEC Automation LLC, established 2000 in Mobile, Alabama and relocated 2019), plus GESOTEC Environmental Technologies Inc. (established 1992 in Georgia).

Core offering

GESOTEC designs, manufactures and integrates industrial Pyro-Process Condition Monitoring systems based on multispectral visual and thermal (infrared) imaging technologies. Its portfolio includes proprietary infrared cameras (PyroViper, Millennium TMCx-xD), gas analyzers (Millennium-GASx), and SCADA integration platforms (PCMx-FaSu.NETx) that connect sensors via industrial IoT networks for continuous 24/7 process visibility in cement, pulp & paper, power, steel, glass, and chemical plants.

Product overview

GESOTEC offers a portfolio of specialized industrial monitoring products centered on infrared thermography and multispectral imaging. The core system is PCMx-FaSu.NETx, a factory-level SCADA platform that integrates visual and thermal monitoring via an industrial IoT-NETwork. Supporting products include Millennium-GASx gas analyzers for cement industry emissions monitoring, PyroViper high-temperature furnace cameras with dual-wavelength thermography capabilities spanning UV to LWIR (0.3-14µm), and Millennium TMCx-xD infrared line scan cameras for kiln shell monitoring. The company also provides tailored industrial design services for custom-fitted solutions. The product architecture combines these imagers and instrumentation into unified monitoring solutions for demanding industrial environments.
