Case Study | Domestic Substitution Ushers in a New Era—Saying Goodbye to the “Outdated and Troublesome” Imported Solutions: Revitalizing Aging TSI Systems at Steel Mills
2026-04-30
1. Project Background

The TSI system for the blowers at a key production station in a steel plant has long relied on combination instruments manufactured by the international brand Entec. After more than a decade of continuous operation, the original system has now revealed serious problems:
❶ The instrument display interface is severely aged, with blurry and hard-to-interpret data, posing significant risks to routine inspections and accurate decision-making.
❷ The core sensors can no longer be procured for spare parts due to their outdated models and discontinuation of production;
❸ The original installation design suffers from issues such as inconvenient viewing angles, further increasing maintenance complexity;
❹ Delayed after-sales response, weak technical support, and high additional costs for imported products are driving up system maintenance costs and security risks over time.
Faced with adversity, the steel plant has put forward a clear demand for transformation: to find a set of… Seamless replacement of the existing imported system , with stable and reliable performance and the ability to provide timely technical support Domestic TSI Solution This is not merely an equipment upgrade; it is a comprehensive test of the supplier’s overall technical capabilities, product quality, and service excellence.
2. Our Company’s Advantages
Upon receiving the customer’s requirements, our company accorded them the highest priority and promptly assembled a team of technical experts to conduct an in-depth on-site investigation. The engineers carried out comprehensive and precise measurements of the existing system’s installation dimensions, wiring configurations, signal specifications, and operating parameters, and engaged in multiple rounds of detailed technical discussions with the customer’s equipment management personnel, thereby gaining a thorough understanding of Site Conditions and Core Requirements 。

Based on comprehensive field data and extensive industry experience, and following in-depth internal technical evaluation, the company has decided to adopt its self-developed XDG5000 Rotating Machinery Monitoring and Protection Device As a comprehensive replacement solution, it single-handedly addresses multiple long-standing pain points that have plagued customers:
❶ Operational convenience: With the elimination of fuzzy displays and reliance on imported spare parts, routine inspection and maintenance have become simpler and more efficient.
❷ Cost controllability: Significantly reduces procurement costs and total lifecycle maintenance costs.
❸ Localization of services: Enjoy rapid, localized technical service support—so you can focus on what matters most.
3. Solution
XDG5000 Rotating Machinery Monitoring and Protection Device

Compatibility and Enhancement: The XDG5000 is fully compatible with the existing system in terms of physical mounting interfaces and electrical signal interfaces, enabling “plug-and-play” operation and significantly reducing downtime during retrofitting. In addition, it features a high-brightness, wide-viewing-angle LCD display that presents data clearly and intuitively.
Modular and flexible configuration: In response to the specific monitoring requirements of this steel plant’s blowers—such as shaft vibration and shaft displacement—we have provided a customized module configuration list. In addition to these modules, we also offer speed, travel, and temperature modules, facilitating subsequent use and adjustments.

Independent sensor integration: We offer proprietary sensors designed to integrate seamlessly with our instrumentation, delivering outstanding performance metrics. These sensors effectively address the challenges associated with imported counterparts—namely, their unavailability and difficult installation—thereby ensuring the entire monitoring chain is independently controllable and maintains long-term stability.
Fast Delivery and Professional Services: From on-site engagement to product delivery, our company completed production and delivered ahead of schedule in just one month, demonstrating highly efficient supply chain management capabilities.
4. Customer Reviews
Our company’s after-sales engineers provided on-site support throughout the entire project, and, with close collaboration from the customer, swiftly completed the installation, wiring, configuration, and commissioning of the new system. The entire retrofit process proceeded smoothly, the XDG5000 system was successfully commissioned, all monitoring data were accurate and stable, and the blowers were subsequently started up and entered into stable operation.

The steel plant highly praised our company’s products and services: “Jiangsu Xindao Ge’s XDG5000 system not only replaces the original imported product with its outstanding performance, but also addresses our substantive challenges through its convenient and efficient operation as well as its meticulous and comprehensive after-sales service, fully demonstrating its… Domestic Substitution in the Field of High-End Equipment Monitoring Instruments “Professional competence and sense of responsibility.”
The successful TSI retrofit project for the blast furnace blower at this steel plant was delivered by Jiangsu Xindao Ge. Customized Solutions Another typical case of.
In the field of safety monitoring for critical industrial equipment, domestically produced high-end instruments and meters are fully capable of replacing imported brands and can, moreover, Better value 、 Faster response speed and Services that better meet local needs , creating greater value for customers and helping enterprises achieve intrinsic safety in production equipment while reducing costs and improving efficiency.
