Maximize efficiency and safety of smelters through advanced multipurpose simulator solutions

摘要

Modern smelters have made the reduction process efficiency andrnsafety a key issue: produce more, faster in a safer environment.rnBy designing and developing highly technical automatedrnmachines, equipment suppliers greatly help and support smeltersrnin their objective. However it must be acknowledged that despiternsuch innovation, human remains at the very heart of any operationrn(reduction process, operations on anode handling in the furnacernarea or rodding shop) and has a significant impact on it.rnTo avoid production losses, reduce maintenance cost and increasernsafety reflexes of the crane operators in case of emergency,rnECL? has recently endowed its PTM simulator with some newrnrevolutionary functions. The operator, facing a double screen onrnwhich a 3D virtual environment is generated, will be nowrnequipped with some 3D glasses putting him in a total virtualrnreality (Cabin rotation, cranes translations).rnWell trained, the operator will fully contribute to improvernproduction and increase safety of the smelter.
