Smart slag-pot management in production

IndustryNon-ferrous · Copper LocationGuixi, Jiangxi Year2026

Overview

Deployed in 2026, the system unifies smart tracking, cooling control and dispatch, cutting cooling cycles by 4%+ and eliminating explosion risks at the source.

Challenges

A large pot fleet with high crane frequency makes manual dispatch the bottleneck; cooling cycles fluctuate and upset downstream scheduling; safety demands every pot movement under control.

Fleet size and crane frequency bottleneck manual dispatch
Cooling-cycle variance disrupts downstream scheduling
High-temperature pot handling must be controlled end to end

Solution

An iteration on the Yunnan Copper yard: tracking, control and dispatch close the loop so pots move faster, cool on curve and are handled safer.

Smart trackingLive identity and position sensing with full movement traces
Cooling controlCooling curves logged automatically with completion checks and overdue alerts
Smart dispatchLifting order and yard allocation scheduled by temperature, cycle and destination
Safety interlockCritical states lock the handling flow and alarm, preventing unsafe tipping

Deployment Scope

Pot tags and yard reader stations
Smart management platform (track/control/dispatch)
Safety interlock and alert rule configuration
Data integration with smelter production systems

Results

Cooling cycles are down 4%+ with visibly faster yard turnover; every action is auditable and critical states auto-interlock, treating explosion risks at the source.
