Copper slag-pot dispatch across the full cooling cycle
01
Overview
Built on HT EMMA tags, the slag-pot dispatch system digitalizes the entire cooling yard: stable ID at 400℃+ shell temperatures in dust and steam, with 99%+ accuracy.
02
Challenges
Slag pots run above 400℃ with heavy steam and dust; multi-day cooling cycles outpace manual records; and overstayed or mishandled pots carry real explosion risks.
01400℃+ surfaces with steam and dust defeat ordinary ID
02Multi-day cooling cycles outpace manual logging
03Overstayed or mishandled pots risk violent ejections
03
Solution
Every pot gets a digital identity; yard readers capture lifting and cooling nodes automatically, per-pot cooling curves and deadlines are logged, and dispatch plus alarms run on temperature and cycle rules.
HT tagging process
Tags and mounting adapted to pot structure, splash and tipping duty
Yard reader network
Readers across lifting, cooling and stripping positions sense every pot move
Cooling control
Per-pot cooling curves and deadlines with automatic overdue alerts
Dispatch & alerts
Temperature- and cycle-based scheduling with automatic critical alerts
