Power of WiT-es HotPipe
High Durability, Uninterrupted Telemetry Wireless Temperature Sensor for High-Temperature Pipelines
WiT-es HotPipe
WiT-es HotPipe makes high-temperature pipelines smart without requiring any batteries, power cables, or data wires. Utilizing patented technology that autonomously converts existing waste heat on the pipe surface into its own electrical power, it delivers real-time temperature data from the most challenging points in your plant without battery replacements or cabling hassles.
Generates its own electricity by utilizing the existing heat of the pipeline fluid or pipe surface. A batteryless technology that completely eliminates battery replacement and cabling costs.
Custom design developed for temperature tracking in high-heat process pipelines. Broadcasts telemetry over kilometers despite factory metal density. Cover thousands of meters of pipe networks with a single Gateway (Wi-GaTe).
A customized solution featuring a curved mounting interface and flexible bracket configurations to secure perfect contact withDN50 to DN1000 pipelines.
Features 24/7 continuous operation in the harshest environments thanks to its IP68 protection class, ATEX intrinsically safe enclosure, and thermal-barrier mounting isolation.
Impossibility and High Cost of Cabling
Routing thousands of meters of conduits and cables along pipelines in refineries, power plants, or large campus infrastructures frequently costs more than the sensors themselves due to trenching, labor, and material expenses.
Battery Tracking in Inaccessible Locations
Tracking and replacing batteries for hundreds of sensors on high-elevation pipelines, underground trenches, or hazardous areas is an unsustainable operational burden.
HotPipe: Bid Farewell to Cables and Batteries
Reduce infrastructure costs by up to 90% with HotPipe. Simply secure your sensor to the pipe surface and track telemetry from your control room kilometers away. No batteries, no cables; just pure telemetry.
Rapid and Safe Plant Dispersion
Digitalize your facility without stopping production, drilling lines, or welding fittings. HotPipe transforms pipeline surface heat into a constant power source, turning unharvested process waste into operational gains.
High-Precision Operational Forensics
With outstanding sensitivity, identify insulation failure, leaks, or pipeline blockages long before they develop into process catastrophes.
Sustainable Energy Management
Analyze your entire pipeline network in real time to minimize thermal losses. Maximize your operational efficiency while reducing your carbon footprint.
Elevate your facility beyond Industry 4.0 standards with batteryless, maintenance-free, and eco-friendly technology.

Frequently Asked Questions on Pipeline Monitoring
Battery models create massive operational overhead and costs for periodic battery replacements, especially across large industrial sites. HotPipe is batteryless; it harvests power from the pipeline surface heat, reducing maintenance needs to zero.
The sensor provides secure wireless transmission via BLE to the Wi-GaTe Gateway at distances up to 100 meters.
The insulation is opened to match the sensor base dimension so that the sensor makes direct metal-to-metal contact with the pipe. After mounting, the area around the sensor is re-insulated to prevent local heat loss.
Yes. The measurement tip of the sensor can be customized with options to measure up to 1200°C. The transmitter enclosure is shielded and isolated using specialized thermal barriers.
No. HotPipe is mounted externally to the pipeline surface. Since it requires no welding, drilling, or cutting, installation can be performed easily while the plant is fully operational.
It integrates fully with LoRaWAN, BLE, Modbus, Profibus, and Profinet networks via the central gateway (Wi-GaTe).
A single Wi-GaTe Gateway unit can simultaneously manage and centralize data from up to 128 WiT-es sensors within its radio coverage area.
