Copper slag-pot dispatch across the full cooling cycle
01
Overview
Built on HT EMMA tags, the slag-pot dispatch system digitalizes the entire cooling yard: stable ID at 400℃+ shell temperatures in dust and steam, with 99%+ accuracy.
02
Challenges
Slag pots run above 400℃ with heavy steam and dust; multi-day cooling cycles outpace manual records; and overstayed or mishandled pots carry real explosion risks.
- 400℃+ surfaces with steam and dust defeat ordinary ID
- Multi-day cooling cycles outpace manual logging
- Overstayed or mishandled pots risk violent ejections
03
Solution
Every pot gets a digital identity; yard readers capture lifting and cooling nodes automatically, per-pot cooling curves and deadlines are logged, and dispatch plus alarms run on temperature and cycle rules.
- HT tagging processTags and mounting adapted to pot structure, splash and tipping duty
- Yard reader networkReaders across lifting, cooling and stripping positions sense every pot move
- Cooling controlPer-pot cooling curves and deadlines with automatic overdue alerts
- Dispatch & alertsTemperature- and cycle-based scheduling with automatic critical alerts
