Abstract

The purpose of this document is to describe how smart robotics technology with multi-tool features can be used to increase safety and reduce the manpower needed in EBT opening and cleaning operations. It describes details of the engineered layout, used equipment and process carried on to apply this technology to Gerdau Açonorte in Recife – PE, Brazil. The work showed that this type of technology can be successful even in applications where there the plant layout is challenging, as long there is a good cooperation between the parts involved in the project. It also proved that this technology is a reality, and it can turn dangerous manual tasks into supervision tasks,
