Tracking & dispatch for trucked hot metal
01
Overview
For truck-based hot metal: 2 tags per ladle and 4 per truck frame plant-wide, pairing ladle to truck with ID at every gate — 99.7% accuracy and full visibility of loaded trucks.
02
Challenges
Trucks route flexibly, so GPS locates the vehicle but never the ladle; mixing loaded/empty states misleads dispatch, and frequent handoffs blur quality accountability.
01Flexible routing: vehicle position is not ladle identity
02Loaded/empty confusion creates dispatch misjudgment
03Frequent handoffs make anomaly accountability hard
03
Solution
Dual tags hard-wire identity onto ladle and truck; readers along routes and gates capture every pass, loaded/empty is judged automatically, and handoffs leave an audit trail.
Ladle + truck tags
2 tags per ladle and 4 per frame automatically bind ladle to truck
Gate & position readers
Readers at gates and key positions capture trucks automatically — no check-in stops
Tracking & dispatch
Loaded/empty state and heat-travel time computed automatically to drive dispatch
Traceability
Handoffs leave automatic timelines so anomalies can be attributed

Results
At 99.7% accuracy, every loaded truck is visible from tap to furnace with automatic heat-travel timing; handoffs self-document, and anomaly reviews run on timelines instead of interviews.
