Abstract

Iskenderun Iron and Steel Co. (ISDEMIR) has four blast furnaces(BF) 80-90% liquid crude iron is used in basic oxygen furnece (BOF). Liquid crude iro is transfer to BOF by torpedocars.The purpose of our application is monitoring the level of crued liquid iron filling the the blast furnace. With this application, we get the production values of the Blast Furnace and arrange logistics of the torpedocars. The other advantages of this application are as follows; 1. BF workers can monitor the blast furnace process and ensure that the furnace to help understand the rate of discharge, 2. Helps to monitor the full aperture of the drain hole to empty the BF, 3. To be able to understand when the furnace should be closed with instant tonnage information, 4. To make the maneuvering program of the logistics maneuver better, Obtaining data about refractory thickness, 5. Increasing data and digitalization of demonstrable about BF process In addition, the advantages of location tracking system with wireless RFID, which is established for maneuvering of torpedocars. and locomotives, are as follows: 1. Digitally tagged and numbered for easy tracking of torpedocars. and locomotives, 2. Tracking of torpedocars.refractory thicknesses can be monitored faster via ID, 3. Time and speed data of logistics maneuvers have been obtained, 4. All employees in the iron and steel production can follow the torpedocars. through the system. This system is finish the verbal communication, 5. The operating times and maintenance times of the locomotives can be monitored.
