Abstract

 

Digitalization of our industry is bringing new opportunities to further optimize operation including production and maintenance. One of the biggest drivers of this digital wave is the artificial intelligence based on big data in combination with process knowledge and IoT technologies. This paper describes the approach to and the status of implementation of modern digital solutions at Rogesa ironmaking plant. The Rogesa implementation includes L2 automation packages for sinter plant and blast furnace process optimization, deep learning with data-driven models. staves wear monitoring by smart sensors, production KPI monitoring via mobile dashboards, condition-based predictive and prescriptive maintenance for tapping equipment and the slag granulation plant as well as a digital twin of the blast furnace using virtual and augmented reality for the visualization of live data, alarms etc. on a 360° tour through of the plant.
