Have you ever wondered what goes on
inside your kiln? I used to think of a kiln as a magic box that you
placed your hard work into; when it came out it would be transformed
and none of it was under your control. Well, Skutt has something to
say about that. They created the KilnLink Monitoring System to do
just what its name entails: monitor.
The KilnLink is designed to be a
connection to an electrical kiln and wherever this is internet
access. Now you can check the status of your kiln when you are not
in your kiln room. When you log in to your account during a firing
you can view current temperatures, graphs of firings, programs, plus
the start and end times. The KilnLink Monitoring System stores your
firings in an cloud based database so you can review firing
schedules, firing costs and notes on performance and so much more.
KilnLink is great for schools because
it allow teachers and students to follow along with their firings.
It will also help you reproduce your favorite firing schedules, as
well as avoid those you found you did not like as much. For more
information on the KilnLink System click here.
The Ceramic Shop was one of the first
to install this system in our working studio. We will be hosting a
workshop in combined efforts with Skutt Kilns to show you basic kiln
set up and repairs and to show off the KilnLink System. The workshop
is good for anyone who owns or is thinking of owning an electrical
kiln. More information here. Make your reservations today, spots
will be limited!
