Neil Taylor of Intec Services presents the first in a series of articles that aims to help cement producers deliver competitive product quality without sacrificing process performance or profitability.
Attaining ‘Industry 4.0’ has been seen as an essential task of the cement industry for many years, with terms such as ‘big data’ and artificial Intelligence (AI) heavily used. It is hoped that AI, combined with big data, will provide solutions to long-standing problems. It might therefore be surprising to learn that fully autonomous mill operation (including the use of AI) has been taking place since 2009. This article will briefly summarise how the methods of High-Level Control (HLC) were used in the cement industry already in the early 2000s and how they manage to control ever more complex closed-loop-controlled processes in situations where standard controllers fail.
Most cement manufacturers face regular production losses due to unknown inefficiencies in their process. Seebo can help identify and optimise them.
Global Cement speaks with Philippe Reveilhac, Cement Strategic Accounts Executive at Schneider Electric, about the company’s capabilities for the cement sector.
