IoTap®
Optimize clean and safe steel production with live slag carryover and ladle fill level measurement. Our high-speed, high-resolution infrared cameras enhance EAF tapping operations, reducing spill risks and slag reversion while improving steel cleanliness.
- Main HMI displaying relevant heat data, with live video
- Process warnings for operators during tapping
- Multi-user access to the interface for teams
- Intuitive dashboard with historical heat data and images
- Enable safer, remote-controlled EAF tapping operations
Slag carryover submodule
- Real-time visualization of the slag during tapping procedure
- Quantification of the slag carryover from the EAF to Ladle
- Determines the EBT wear status
- Estimates big vs small hot heel volumes
- Supports and optimizes tapping operations
Freeboard submodule
- Show target freeboard in real time for operation guidance
- Measures actual freeboard
- Alarms when ladle reaches optimal fill level
- Extends ladle refractory lining life
- Prevents steel spills onto the ground
- Enables safer remote EAF tapping
- Assist to reduces the aluminum additions required for deoxidation
- Decreases desulphurization time at the LMF
- Produces cleaner steel, reducing inclusions and extending refractory life
- Measures stream position and furnace angle for safer operations
- Prevents ladle refractory washout
- Supports consistent, clean tapping with reduced slag reversion
