    Steel and Metal Production

    Unexpected shutdowns are costly and very demanding for the workforce involved. Make your metal processing critical assets smart in order to increase the availability.

     

    Today most often technical data sheets coupled with the knowledge of a number of unique experienced individuals are used to determine when maintenance is required for an asset. Product quality only becomes an issue when customers start complaining. Repairs are done when it's already far too late. All of this puts tremendous strain on the people responsible for the production and maintenance, while it can be avoided, quite easily.

     

    The only way to validate the actual health of crucial assets, and predict upcoming issues, is by having a continuous look at a broad data set and adding a specific multi-aspect monitoring setup consisting of different sensor types. This combined with an automated smart follow-up of the behaviour of critical components and the general state-of-health of the asset based on the collected data.

     

    Zensor offers ready-made monitoring solutions for Rolling bridges, Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF), Rolling Mills (hot and cold), Conveyors, AOD Converters, BOF, Continuous Caster turrets as well as lines, Cooling water pumps and de-scalers, ...

    “The insights generated give us peace of mind regarding the overall status of the overhead crane. Prioritising, quantifying and investigating maintenance tasks became easier, which in the long run, will result in the avoidance of unexpected shutdowns.​"

    We understand the problems you face

    Catch them before they cause greater damage!

    Standstills

    Missing production targets due to equipment failure has a serious impact on your business and causes economic loss, delayed deliveries and demotivation among employees.

    Product quality

    Not just the quality of the output but quality of the machinery - if your machine is deforming it will influence the quality of your output, causing greater bad yield.

    Yield optimisation

    The faster the asset produces perfect output one after another, the less material has to be thrown away. A smart sensor set helps in setting the optimal set point to begin with and to rapidly reach the perfect conditions for each day.

    Availability

    Increase the availability of your asset by only performing repairs when necessary.

    Unknown root-cause

    Use the right data to discover where and how the problem came from.

    Operational statistics

    When continuously tracking currents or vibrations smart algorithms can determine automatically how long the asset operates under a certain condition. Live statistics give you insights into how optimally the asset is used.
  • Solutions for operational improvement:

    Learn more about our approach

    Performance

    Based on the data collected and machine-learning based methods for determining the operational condition the performance is calculated.

    Quality

    Coupling to existing databases or using human input fields the product quality is linked to operational process parameters.

    Warnings

    Whenever values start to deviate, or data streams stop, warnings are sent. This avoids 'black holes' in the insights of the production line or assets.

    Increase availability

    Have a continuous idea of availability, automatically as the platform combines different input streams and contextual information.

  • Operational statistics

    Often these statistics are available but not visible or known to the relevant stakeholders.

    Health status

    Having a real-time overview of your gantry cranes health status is vital to improving its overall efficiency on site. ​

    Alerting

    Reacting to particular events on your gantry crane is a lot more efficient and effective if you know what has, or is about to happen
