A major integrated steel plant sought a comprehensive, integrated solution to streamline ladle management processes and enhance health monitoring within their Steel Making Shop (SMS) to boost overall productivity and safety.
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 project resulted in improved ladle management practices, reduced downtime, and enhanced safety in the SMS department. Our solution ensured the optimal performance of ladles, contributing significantly to the plant's productivity and operational efficiency.
