A major integrated steel plant, operating a high-throughput Steel Melting Shop (SMS), recognized the need to upgrade its ladle management practices.
The client's large-scale integrated steel plant required a sophisticated approach to ladle management in their SMS department. Key challenges included:
Epsum Labs designed and deployed a robust Ladle Management System. This solution incorporated IoT technology and strategically placed cameras to provide real-time tracking of ladle locations on the shop floor. The system continuously monitored crucial parameters such as internal temperature, refractory wear, and structural stress levels. Leveraging advanced data analytics, the system provided predictive insights into potential failures. Furthermore, it precisely calculated ladle heat life and turnaround time, enabling data-driven decisions for optimal utilization and lifespan extension.
The implementation of the new system yielded significant quantifiable improvements
