Abstract

PLANT MANAGERS AT BLAST FURNACES ARE FACED WITH THE NEED OF CONTINUOUS INCREASING COSTS FOR SAFETY, MISSING PROCESS PREDICTABILITY AND MISSING PROCESS CONTROL CAUSING PRODUCTION WAIST. THIS ALSO INVOLVES THE TAPPING AND TORPEDO CAR LOADING PROCESS. BASED ON INTENSE EXCHANGE WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS TMT TAPPING MEASURING TECHNOLOGY, DEVELOPED A TORPEDO CAR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, ALLOWING THE END USER TO GENERATE PERFECT PROCESS CONTROL ON SAFETY, TIME, PREDICTABILITY AND DOCUMENTATION CLOSING THE DIGITAL GAP BETWEEN BLAST FURNACE AND STEEL PLANT. BENEFIT IS REPORTED HAVING AN “ASSETS PROFILE” WITH STRATEGIC INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN THE TORPEDO HAS BEEN USED THE LAST TIME, HOW OFTEN AND WHAT IS ITS CONDITION. THE SOFTWARE HAS THE OPTION TO ADD FUNCTIONALITIES AT A LATER STAGE, DEPENDING ON INDIVIDUAL REQUIREMENTS. THIS IS GIVING THE MANAGER A GOOD TOOL FOR FUTURE USE OR THE NECESSARY INFORMATION FOR PLANNING MAINTENANCE. BASED ON THIS FACT, A RETURN ON CAPEX INVESTMENT IS SIGNIFICANTLY ATTRACTIVE.
