🚨 Problem: Manual inspections are prone to errors and may not provide comprehensive coverage, leading to potential safety hazards and operational inefficiencies.

✅ Solution: AI-powered system that detects and analyzes ladle hook position and orientation to ensure proper engagement and alignment.

🎯 Impact:

• Real-time alerts for improper hooking
• Enhanced safety by preventing accidents
• Improved operational efficiency
• Smoother production processes

🚨 Problem: Gradual wear and degradation of refractory lining can lead to hot spots, cracks, and ultimately failure of the refractory lining.

✅ Solution: IR cameras and AI systems that warn operators of imminent breakout before it happens, allowing corrective actions.

🎯 Impact:

• Track real-time hotspot regions
• Real-time alerts for recurring hotspots
• Visual historian for postmortem analysis
• Minimize unplanned downtime

🚨 Problem: Slag pot metal levels are difficult to monitor manually, especially in high-temperature environments, making accuracy inconsistent and unsafe.

✅ Solution: AI-powered vision system continuously monitors molten slag levels in real-time, triggering automated control actions.

🎯 Impact:

• Reduces man-hours spent on manual checks
• Prevents slag bursts and overflows
• Improves safety and process stability
• Enhanced operational control

🚨 Problem: Manual level measurement is highly unreliable and requires operators to enter hazardous zones, risking safety.

✅ Solution: AI-powered vision system captures real-time molten steel levels and automatically triggers calibrated nitrogen flooding.

🎯 Impact:

• Eliminates overflows in VD chambers
• Reduces manual intervention significantly
• Enhances steel quality and productivity
• Maintains consistent metal levels
