Problem statement

  • The lining of furnances steel ladles "works" in extreme thermal and mechanical conditions. The risk of masonry burnout is high

  • The technical condition of the lining is assenssed by the personnel

  • Human error is a common cause of an accident


Consequences:

  • There are emergencies happens
  • The lining resource is not fully developed

Solution

  • Reduces the influence of the human factor

  • Gives an objective assessment of the technical condition

  • Helps in decision making

  • Generates the thermal profile of the object and detects anomalies

  • Performs scanning, analysis of the lining and the parameters affecting it and predicts the remaining life (wear condition prediction module)


Effects

Prevention of accidents and incidents
Reducing of unreasonable equipment downtime
Reduction of maintenance and repair costs
Improving industrial safety
