IoBucket®
Improves bucket charging by using Machine Vision and AI to identify scrap type and volume distribution in real time before entering the EAF.
As its counterpart, the IoBucket® uses the latest technology for automatic scrap classification, applying this functionality to the bucket charge.
- Identification of scrap volume and distribution in the bucket
- Undesired material charge detection
- Assign Scrap chemical composition from historical data
- Actual scrap charge recompilation and accurate scrap charge historical generation
- No movable parts
- Works indoors and out
- Built in IMU to stabilize images
- Range 0.2 to 20 meters
- Real-time streaming
- Instant volume measurement
- No contact measurement
- No operator intervention needed
- Integration with SmartFurnace® for advanced melt control
- Collaborative commissioning and testing with customer teams for optimal results
- Monitor actual bucket charge
- Optimize charge composition
- Estimate carbon and fluxes tracking into the EAF
- Safety control of scrap for charge
