With the increasingly fierce market competition, Shagang Group actively responds to the "four modernizations" development strategy and takes intelligent transformation as a new engine for enterprise development. In this context, the successful application of RAMON intelligent continuous casting casting unmanned platform has become a key part of Shagang's improvement of automation, informatization and intelligence level in continuous casting areas.
Stable operation is highly recognized
RAMON intelligent continuous casting steel unmanned platform has been running stably for more than 8,000 furnaces in shagang, with a success rate of more than 99%, which has been highly recognized by customers and successfully passed the acceptance. It completely abandons the previous arbitrary and lack of unified standard manual steel pouring methods, and realizes the functions of automatic disassembly/assembly of slide plate cylinders, automatic disassembly/assembly of long nozzles by robots, automatic pouring and process addition of covering agents, automatic temperature measurement and sampling of robots, etc., and through collaborative control of automatic subcontracting of large bales slewing platform and automatic lifting of large bales arms, it truly realizes the full-process automation and unmanned steel pouring operation on the continuous casting platform.
Intelligent innovation and comprehensive upgrade
In the past, the work of shagang continuous casting casting steel platform mainly relied on manual labor, and the operating environment was extremely harsh, and workers needed to carry out high-intensity and high-risk operations under the conditions of high temperature, smoke and dust, and narrow space, such as disassembling and assembling a 100-kilogram skateboard cylinder, replacing the long nozzle, etc. These jobs are not only labor-intensive, but also have serious safety hazards, such as molten steel splashing, waste residue falling, etc., which can easily lead to worker injuries.
The introduction of RAMON intelligent continuous casting steel unmanned platform has completely changed this situation. The system uses intelligent industrial robots to accurately perceive the location and working conditions of operating objects through lasers and visual sensors, and then efficiently calculate, identify and control them through PLC and industrial computers, so as to accurately complete various steel pouring operations. This not only greatly improves work safety, but also significantly improves work efficiency. The platform has comprehensive functions, including more than 10 functions such as automatic disassembly/assembly of skateboard cylinders, automatic cleaning of long nozzles, automatic temperature measurement and sampling, etc., which realizes the collaborative control with the large bag turntable and large bag arm, and comprehensively optimizes the workflow of the continuous casting site.
△ On-site application of products
The results are remarkable and full of praise
In the context of the difficulty of recruitment and labor tension in the iron and steel industry, the application of RAMON intelligent continuous casting steel unmanned platform not only improves the working environment, reduces labor intensity and safety risks, but also effectively alleviates the problem of employment tension and enhances the attractiveness of the position. The successful application of this system has created a new situation of intelligent manufacturing in the iron and steel industry and provided strong support for the sustainable development of iron and steel enterprises.
It is worth mentioning that recently, when a number of steel mills visited the Shagang intelligent continuous casting and pouring steel unmanned platform, they were full of praise for its application results, and they expressed "unfinished" and marveled that "you have done so well". RAMON intelligent continuous casting steel unmanned platform has not only won high recognition from customers, but also attracted widespread attention in the industry.
RAMON's technological innovation has always been the primary task of meeting customer needs, guided by leading market development, and taking stable use on site as the core goal. Since 2018, we have focused on on-site customization, function expansion and stability improvement, and have completed 34 sets of performance, successfully built more than 10 sets of large-scale model projects, and established a strong and stable product team composed of more than 50 people. At present, RAMON intelligent continuous casting and pouring unmanned platform has been successfully applied in more than 30 iron and steel enterprises such as Shaogang, Shagang and Pangang, helping the entire industry to move towards intelligence, digitalization and unmanned. The wide promotion and application of this innovative technology indicates that the steel industry is ushering in a new era of intelligence.
