inspect pro control S

IR-based optimization of the temperature distribution

The inspect pro control S system processes infrared image data from inside the submerged arc furnace. It filters out disturbances and calculates parameters to characterize the temperature distribution at the material surface. inspect pro control S makes the new parameters available via the plant's process control system for real-time optimization of the melting process.

Using image-based characteristics for process optimization and optimal use of raw materials

The innovative inspect pro control S system was developed in cooperation with industry partners and is based on established and reliable image processing methods. The system automatically detects hot spots on the material surface and provides characteristic parameters about the homogeneity of the temperature distribution inside the furnace. The detailed information about the current process state is the basis for quick countermeasures and optimization to ensure the optimal utilization of scarce raw materials and to reduce emissions.

Installation in your plant

inspect pro control S can retrofit all standard plants to optimize silicon production. It is designed for both manually controlled systems and automated controls.
