What makes TAP Kiln Controllers different from other kiln controllers?

TAP Kiln Controllers revolutionized the kiln control industry by combining easy-to-use touchscreen controls with PID-driven precision and remote kiln control through TAP Kiln Control Mobile.

At a time when other programmable kiln controllers still used keys, complicated menus, and small alarm clock-like screens, the TAP Kiln Controller by SDS Industries revolutionized kiln control by introducing intuitive touchscreen controls and an attractive graphical user interface.  

TAP Kiln Controllers focused on streamlining the user experience, allowing artists to navigate menus, adjust settings, and create, edit, and execute firing schedules with just a few taps of their fingers. TAP is designed with logical menus and easy-to-read full title text displays so that artists can pick up their controller and begin firing in a way that just makes sense! 

 

 

SDS Industries also pioneered mobile kiln control, launching the TAP Kiln Control Mobile app so that artists could remotely monitor their kiln, edit settings, and even create and execute firing schedules from their smartphone!  

TAP combined this revolutionary user experience with a host of cutting-edge technical features like PID-driven precision, preventative maintenance alerts, advanced diagnostics, push notification alerts and alarms, error reports, and storage capabilities that allow users to save an unlimited number of unique schedules with an unlimited number of steps.  

We at SDS Industries support our mainline TAP Kiln Controllers (TAP and TAP II) with an industry-leading 3-year warranty, providing our customers with technical support and troubleshooting, while continually supporting our products with software updates and the development of new features.
