Problems We Solve

In an aluminum smelter, the absence of adequate speed monitoring sensors on heavy equipment poses safety and productivity challenges. Operators lack real-time speed feedback, which hampers their ability to control and adjust their speed effectively. Furthermore, different speed limits in various zones of the smelter compound the problem. Accidents resulting from uncontrolled speed not only disrupt productivity but also pose severe risks to operators and personnel. To address these issues, implementing comprehensive speed management measures, including advanced monitoring systems and clear zone-specific speed limits, is crucial for enhancing safety, productivity, and operational efficiency in the aluminum smelter.

Our Solution

  • Cognecto provides a solution for monitoring heavy equipment involved in transporting materials, including molten metal, in an aluminum smelter.
  • The solution includes retrofitting customized telematics devices onto the equipment, establishing connectivity solutions, employing machine learning algorithms, and utilizing case management systems.
  • Telematics devices capture and transmit data through LTE or Wi-Fi networks, which are then analyzed by machine learning algorithms to generate relevant alerts.
  • The system allows for the setup of geo fences, marking different zones within the smelter with specific speed limits to ensure operators adhere to the appropriate speed limits in each area.
  • Operator scores can be generated based on their adherence to speed limits and overall performance, enabling targeted training to improve skills and safety awareness.
  • The command center can identify accident-prone areas through data analysis and take proactive actions to mitigate risks, enhancing safety and productivity in the aluminum smelter.
