Issues Causing Downtime in Steel Plants
Inefficiencies Due to Lack of Ladle Tracking
The absence of an effective ladle monitoring system in steel plants leads to safety hazards, material losses, process inefficiencies, SOP non-compliance, and equipment damage. Unmonitored ladle movements increase the risk of spills, accidents, and misalignments, causing costly downtime and maintenance. Implementing a Ladle Tracking System enhances safety, ensures SOP compliance, and significantly reduces maintenance costs.
equipment damage
Poor ladle refractory condition monitoring causes premature wear and costly downtime
Inadequate ladle tracking causes misalignment, while manual metal level tracking increases spill risks, leading to equipment damage and higher maintenance costs. Poor refractory condition monitoring results in premature wear and costly downtime.
