Osamu Iida, Shuichi Taniyoshi, Toshio Uetani, Toshiro Sawada, Masahiro Hashimoto, Daisuke Onoda
Synopsis :
The No. 3 blast furnace of Mizushima Works applies artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in its thoroughly re-modernized plant control system. AI has been applied in the blast furnace operation to diagnose the blast furnace condition and control furnace heat (a diagnosis type of expert system), to control hot stove heat by fuzzy theory, to plan the material hopper arrangement (a planning type of expert system), to control the distribution of granulated slag (a control type of expert system in real-time), and to control the feed speed of material by fuzzy theory. These functions have greatly contributed to a high degree of automation and efficient operation of the furnace.
