Fioscope cameras are not only a powerful visual tool, they can make smart decisions to optimise process control and support operators.
A key feature is scrap heap detection, developed in partnership with RiA Cast House Engineering GmbH, a leading manufacturer of rail-mounted charging and skimming machines. This feature alerts operators to the earliest and safest moment to charge additional scrap into the melting furnace, ensuring optimal melt rates and cycle times.
By providing a clear visual indication of when the furnace is ready, scrap heap detection eliminates the need for operators to open the furnace door prematurely. This not only enhances safety by reducing the risk of hazardous conditions, such as charging into liquid metal, but also improves operational efficiency. When integrated with a RiA Charging Machine, Fioscope cameras can trigger the next load autonomously once the machine is loaded with scrap material, streamlining the process further.
This innovation demonstrates a significant advancement in industrial automation, combining precision, safety, and efficiency in furnace operations.
