Intelligent Ladle Tracking System (iLTS)
Tenova intelligent Ladle Tracking System is the innovative solution, engineered as modular system, dedicated to the effective management of all operations related to Ladles used in liquid steel production process, through the improvement and extension of the automatisms of supervision, control and command functions.
Overview
intelligent Ladle Tracking System is a state-of-the-art solution to provide management in ladles turnover and life.
iLTS is a modular system with independent modules that can work separately and together.
The complete solution consists of the following three modules:
- iLHS (Ladles History and Status) for registration of construction data and maintenance activities, related to ladles status and turnover, reconstructing the history
- iMILT (Minimally Invasive Ladle Tracking) for the physical identification of ladles
- iLTM (Ladles Thermal Map) for monitoring the wear conditions of the ladle refractory status, through image analysis taken with thermocameras and warning in case of critical conditions.
iLTS, through its modules, is strictly integrated with the “Manufacturing Operations Management” of iMeltShop, to whose operational choices contributes with real time information about ladles status and availability, as well as with process control systems, from which it receives information related to services in cycle (casting, steel, process data)
