Large US steel manufacturer adopts Ubisense Smart Factory
System
Cambridge, UK - Ubisense Group Plc ("Ubisense" or the "Company")
(LSE:UBI), a market leader in location based smart technology, is
pleased to announce that a large US steel manufacturer has selected
the Ubisense Smart Factory System for process tracking around their
steel manufacturing plant.
One of the production challenges for steel manufacturers is the
transfer of molten metal from blast furnaces to other areas around
the manufacturing plant in an efficient and safe manner. Because of
the distances involved, rail 'torpedo' cars are used for this
purpose and have to be constantly monitored for both process safety
and efficiency. For example, deviations in temperature can result
in significant cost increases if the contents of the 'torpedoes'
have to be reheated.
In order to provide complete visibility of this manufacturing
process, this US steel manufacturer has selected the Ubisense Smart
Factory System, which will be fully integrated with its thermal
imaging cameras. This integrated solution provides visibility of
the industrial process at critical process steps such as weighing
stations and discharge. Any temperature, quality or weight
distribution problems can be identified in real-time; allowing
operators to be alerted and corrective action to be taken in a safe
and timely fashion, something that was difficult to achieve with
the previous manual measurement solutions.
Knowing the precise location and orientation of the rail cars
can also be used to determine the wear and tear profile of not only
the rail equipment but also the very expensive high temperature
lining of the rail car itself. Reduction in wear of the torpedo car
alone can result in significant cost savings amounting to several
hundred thousands of dollars every year.
Richard Green, Ubisense Chief Executive Officer, said: "This is
another great example of how the Ubisense Smart Factory System is
being used to improve manufacturing production processes."
Ubisense Smart Factory systems are widely used in automotive and
aerospace manufacturing, and can be applied to any manufacturing
activity where precise, reliable location can be used to provide
production process visibility and control.
