An industrial mobile process monitoring system is described which provides a means by which a measurable atmospheric condition, such as temperature, can be measured in real time at a plurality of different locations in a structure such as a kiln, and the information transmitted to a base station computer via magnetic energy linking primary and secondary windings of an air-core transformer.

A process condition detection system in which a carrier moves material along a path of said process, comprising: a mobile sensor unit associated with said carrier, said sensor adapted to move in association with said carrier to detect a measurable condition at various locations within or near said m

A process condition detection system in which a carrier moves material along a path of said process, comprising: a mobile sensor unit associated with said carrier, said sensor adapted to move in association with said carrier to detect a measurable condition at various locations within or near said material; a signal transmitter in association with said mobile sensor unit liar transmitting signals characterizing said measurable condition detected by said mobile sensor unit, via an air core signal transformer including a primary winding along said path, and a secondary winding connected to said carrier, such that communication is established via magnetic energy linking said primary and said secondary windings, said transmitter adapted to enable transmitting from said mobile sensor unit at substantially all points along said path independent of any restriction of transmitting at set locations along said path, to a conductor which conveys said transmitted signals to a station spaced a distance apart from said path; and a communication circuit at said station for receiving said measurable condition transmitted signals, and generating output characterizing said condition.
