Alumin­ium

Industrial AI across the full smelter operation.

From potroom scheduling to cast house coordination, aluminium production runs on timing. Quantillion's technology integrates across the process, decision intelligence, operational management, and autonomous logistics, to keep every step synchronised.

The challenge

A process that runs on timing, and breaks when it doesn't.

01

Quality Demand

A large variety of qualities is cast on a daily basis, tuned to the specific requirements of the end users. This requires operational flexibility, in order to accommodate the demands, while managing the continuous production cycle without any delays.

02

Process Interdependency

Potroom tapping, ladle movements, furnace loading and casting sequences are tightly coupled across the smelter floor. Understanding the impact, and the changes and adjustments that come into play when plans change, becomes too much for operators to oversee.

03

Shift Continuity

With the steady flow of liquid metal, it is important to ensure that all of it can be processed in time. A disruption at any point has an impact across the full operation, requiring several adjustments to ensure shift goals are met.

How Quantillion integrates

Three layers. One connected operation.

Quantillion's software solutions are built around the physical and timing constraints of your smelter, and connect decision intelligence with operational management into a single system.

Each layer operates autonomously and in real time. Together, they are able to maintain the full overview, understand the production status and secure the operational throughput. Our solutions make sure that the right decision is made, every time.

Capabilities

From potroom to cast house, fully connected.

Real-Time Scheduling

Our solutions continuously evaluate ladle movements, vehicle availability and furnace demands, ensuring that every transport is managed at the right moment in order to reach all operational goals.

Operations Management

Through a centralised live overview of the entire smelter operation, we ensure that every team is connected and informed. By keeping all assets, people and robots in the loop, we ensure a safe working environment, even under harsh conditions.

Transport Coordination

By managing overall task assignment across the smelter floor, we ensure that no asset remains idle and no furnace is kept waiting. By increasing operational uptime, we make your assets work for you.

Disruption Response

When conditions change, our solutions are able to replan accordingly. Our autonomous systems adjust specific tasks and the entire operation based on the needs of your plant, without waiting on operators to catch up.
