Steel ladle
 

Recorded image of a steel bath surface
 

Integration into a process control system
 

Situation
• Detailed process status information serves to support the analysis,
   monitoring and optimisation of metallurgical treatment stages
• Harsh ambient conditions necessitate contactless methods of measurement

Solution
• Adaptation and installation of mobile and stationary image processing
  systems
• Development of an image processing system tailored to the situation and
  measurement task
• Integration in process control system
• Process optimisation

Fields of use
• Continuous on-line monitoring and analysis of high-speed processes
• Monitoring of ladle stirring processes
• Measurements at nozzle systems
• Slag detection
• Detection of crust formation in troughs and runners
• Positioning and logistics of metallurgical vessels
