About D.B. Industrial Solutions
We built the system we wanted beside the equipment.
One that shows what changed, helps a technician decide where to look, and gives the business a record of the result. Our patent-pending technology monitors excess oxygen and temperature while certified combustion-safety controls remain in charge.
Field deployment
Installed at a global aluminum manufacturer.
The Industrial system is installed inside a working production facility operated by a multibillion-dollar manufacturer with more than 20 manufacturing sites across 10 countries.
Our origin
A student project left the lab and met a real furnace.
D.B. Industrial Solutions was founded in 2026 by an Ohio University engineering team following the development of its combustion-monitoring technology through a senior capstone project.
That project became a company because the problem was larger than a class assignment. Periodic readings leave long gaps in the story of how combustion equipment is operating. We are building commercial and industrial systems that fill those gaps and connect the information to the people who can use it.
The Commercial Monitoring Panel is now being prepared for broader deployment.
Recognition
The engineering has earned attention. The field work keeps us honest.
Ohio University programs have recognized the technology’s engineering and commercial potential. Field deployment continues to shape how the products are installed, commissioned, and used.
Kurtz Business Impact Award
Recognition of the project’s potential for practical business impact.
Ohio University Student Expo
First-place recognition for the team’s work.
Engineering approach
The sensor, screen, network, and business case have to work together.
Our team works across combustion, electronics, firmware, interfaces, networking, integration, and business operations because a technically correct reading is not enough. It also has to reach the right person and support a useful decision.
Start with the operating problem
The equipment, site conditions, people, and decision to be made define the system.
Fit the existing workflow
The data belongs in the plant or building systems and service practices the customer already uses.
Measure before scaling
Limited deployments establish reliability, usefulness, and economic potential under actual site conditions.
Our team
Multidisciplinary by design.
The team works across combustion, sensing, hardware, firmware, human-machine interfaces, networks, and business operations.
