5g power help “Smart” steel making
Digital intelligence enabled steel manufacturing greatly, so that“Digital twins” applied to modern production scenarios. On the large screen of the main control room in the steel-making working area of the rolling section, a huge dynamic image of the simulated converter smelting was shown to the reporters, on the left and right sides of the virtual converter, all kinds of steel-making parameters, such as“Converter information”, “Flue gas information”, “Smelting information” and“Auxiliary material information”, are constantly changing.
In the past, the process of steel-making required hand-held steel-making mirror to be observed on the spot. Now with this 'digital twin' system, we can use it to enter the virtual converter and fully analyze the whole process of steel-making, the data is also quite accurate!” Wang Dong, a steel-making operator at the steel-rolling Operation Department, told reporters that information technology had“Opened up” the“Black Box” of the smelting process in the converter, making it visible and transparent, greatly improving production efficiency and accuracy.
In 5G and other emerging technologies, digital intelligence is shaping the whole process of steel making, 5G network effectively overcomes the disadvantages of inconvenient laying of optical fiber and unstable industrial WiFi capacity, and provides support for accurate control of the system. At present, the application of 5G in iron and steel enterprises extends from"Shallow water area" of single equipment to"Deep water area" of linkage system, it creates the conditions for the sustainable benefit and the cultivation and development of new quality productive forces.
