How can the real-time temperature of the build plate be accurately measured in Selective Laser Melting (SLM)?

Real-time build plate temperature in SLM can be measured using embedded thermocouples placed in or beneath the plate, or non-contact methods such as an infrared pyrometer or thermal camera aimed at the surface. Machine ambient sensors are generally not accurate enough for this purpose.
