Synopsis :
This paper reports on the development and application of Kawasaki Steel's equipment diagnosis techniques. The equipment control in the iron and steel industry, where production heavily depends on equipment performance, has been changing largely in the form of modernization of equipment with a view to cope with highly sophisticated quality control and multifarious production. In terms of assurance of equipment for desired production, an equipment control technology backed up by engineering has been more strongly demanded. Developed to bring the capacity of equipment into full play are the machinery/equipment diagnosis techniques used as predictive maintenance and process diagnosis techniques for product quality assurance. The above two techniques are being further developed into an equipment control system techniques. Since there are many phases where human judgement is needed, attention has been paid to the role of human support for highly efficient and sophisticated maintenance work in order to establish an equipment diagnosis techniques.
