Monitoring temperatures of stock piles

    Hi Folks
    I am hoping someone may be able to help me.
    I am after some ways of measuring the heat/temperatures in stockpiles - the issue is the product piles we have a very unstable so we do not want operators near the piles on foot for risk of product slide - meaning probes are a little difficult to get in place.
    Any ideas or similar situations that you have managed?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Greg

    Thermal imaging could be a possibility, I inspect servers, switchboards and electrical control cabinets which it's generally preferred to be non contact.

    How close can you get to your "stockpiles", what sort of resolution are you looking for? By this, I mean do you need to know the spot temp of an item 10cm in diameter at 20m, or just the overall temp of your pile.
