What did our team find?

Beshay Steel is operating a 500 tpd PRF lime kiln and X4LIME team by DIG:ITA is providing Performance and Reliability Services to keep the plant at the peak of the performances.

During the standard kiln operation happens that some process data, even if important to fine tune site floor operation, are hidden inside the huge dataset and could not reach the attention to the operators.

“As guarantee of smooth operation and uniform lime quality, one of the key parameters operating a lime kiln is to keep consistent and uniform the kiln temperature between the two shafts” — says Edoardo Cella DIG:ITA CDO and X4LIME expert

What was the trigger for this analysis?

“The <<game>> is based on the ability to give the right <<design>> to information, hide complexity in depth and make the surface of things easy to cross.” — THE GAME — Alessandro Baricco — The Game — Einaudi — 2018

Temperature Difference is promptly notified though #iDO notification and delivery skill

Within the framework of MOSAICO workplace, #iDO industrial digital operator is monitoring thousands of plant parameters 24/24 and has been instructed to send breakdown notifications and smart machine alerts for immediate communication with operators, accurate problem diagnosis and faster repairs.

That’s the case of the consistency of the above temperature level that is promptly notified when overcome smooth operation condition.

In addition #iDO provides to plant followers a drill-in the trend of the recurrence of a notification allowing them to know what’s going on when it’s going on.

What was the value to the customer?

The lack of visibility makes it difficult to react in real time to constantly changing bottlenecks. Post mortem analysis at the end of the shift is no longer enough.

MOSAICO workspace allows to collect and analyze data in real time when it happens, getting actionable insights and reports during the shift and not post mortem.

Davide Ripamonti Data Scientist of DIG:ITA & X4LIME

“Never again experience information loss or data discrepancies. Within MOSAICO workspace you can any information in the blink of an eye and pass on important insights to the next shift’s team.

Digitization for a SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Enhance scientific research, upgrade the technological capabilities of industrial sectors in all countries, in particular developing countries, including, by 2030, encouraging innovation and substantially increasing the number of research and development workers per 1 million people and public and private research and development spending.
