Intelligent alarm handling in the steel manufacturing industry. Data driven process condition monitoring of furnace 301 at SSAB. Report no 2.

P.-O. Norberg & David Sandoz

It has been proposed that by using predictive condition monitoring on historic data from an industrial steel reheating furnace there will be improved operational understanding, measurement robustness, and incipient fault detection that all together will lead to increased efficiency and productivity. This report discusses the initial analysis and system that has been developed to achieve a versatile predictive condition monitor.
