Steel Belt Monitoring Intelligent machine vision system for monitoring steel belt in roasting kilns

Voting is over

Steel Belt Monitoring (SBM) is an advanced machine vision system implemented at the sinter plant №1 (UPO-1) of Donskoy GOK. The system is designed for monitoring the condition of the steel belt in sintering furnaces and improving production efficiency through:

Overheating prediction: Early detection of overheating risks with an accuracy of up to 93.94%, which helps prevent emergency situations. Defect detection: Identifying damage to the belt at early stages with an accuracy of 79.72%, reducing repair costs and preventing unplanned downtimes. The system is based on neural networks and machine learning algorithms integrated with the plant's technological processes. It provides operators with recommendations for optimizing furnace parameters, reducing energy consumption, and minimizing human error. SBM combines innovative technologies with the real needs of heavy industry.
