Challenge details:

During the slitting process, wide steel coils are slit into narrower strips, simultaneously trimming the coil sides. The resulting side trim is chopped using a scrap chopper and collected in flat-bottom, funnel-shaped scrap bins via a conveyor system. This chopped scrap accumulates unevenly, necessitating frequent intervention by the EOT crane to rotate the bins. This time-consuming process involves switching crane attachments between tongs and chains and vice-versa, significantly reducing crane availability for core production activities.

To enhance operational efficiency, we aim to automate scrap bin management, eliminating the need for manual crane rotation. The ideal solution should ensure uniform scrap distribution inside the bin and should enable continuous filling without disrupting the existing transfer car system. Change in the design (shape) of the bin is not preferred.

Mandrel plain bearing failure prevention
Plain bearing conditions are monitored manually or with basic tools, which often fail to detect early signs of wear, resulting in unexpected failures and costly repairs. At the start and end of rotation, when the shaft speed is low, boundary lubrication occurs, causing intermittent contact between the Roll Shaft and the plain bearing, leading to wear over time. A solution is needed for real-time, accurate, non-intrusive condition monitoring that can withstand high temperatures (45-80°C) and harsh environments.

Detection of location and depth of underground utilities
In older manufacturing facilities, locating underground utilities like power lines, water supply, and pipelines is challenging due to the lack of detailed schematics. These utilities, buried up to three meters deep, vary in size and material. We need a solution that can accurately pinpoint the exact location and depth of these utilities.
