Technical data
Tenova intelligent Ladle History and Status realizes, in full automatic mode, the recognitions of each ladles operations, linking the ladle identification number to all ladle’s life process data along the production cycle.
The collect data are mainly related to: Details of building materials and activities, details of maintenance activities, details of process events.
All information collected are available on several reports or video pages and related to: Plant status monitoring, Service condition, Maintenance.
The main aim of the physical tracking performed by the MILT module, besides the tracing of movements and the assessing of location, is the trusty identification of the Ladles while delivering hot metal or liquid steel.
The MILT module, performing the physical identification of the ladles, is made up with SW procedures and dedicated devices. The actual adopted identification solution foresees the use of steel plates (Tag plates), welded to the Ladles, marking out for being minimally invasive and with negligible maintenance requirement, limited to an occasional renew of the coat of paint of the plates.
The purpose of Ladles Thermal Module is to monitor the wear conditions of the ladle refractory status, to warn in case of critical conditions of ladles refractory.
The thermal maps of the ladles are stored in the database of the system and are ept available for later analysis.
