In the dynamic landscape of industrial operations, efficiency is paramount. That is why ElvalHalcor has embraced innovation with the installation of cutting-edge blending optimization software in both of its divisions. The implementation of this innovative system has revolutionised the way raw aluminium and copper are handled, ensuring not only cost-effectiveness but also sustainability and operational excellence for the company.
The blending optimisation system harnesses the power of advanced algorithms and real-time data implementation to propose the most cost-effective recipes for raw material utilisation. By considering factors such as material availability, live chemical compositions, production schedules, and productivity fundamentals, the system generates optimised recipes that minimise usage of primary aluminium, copper and zinc and maximize scrap utilization, leading to elevated recycling content for ElvalHalcor’s aluminium and copper products.
One of the key benefits of the Blending Optimiser is its ability to adapt to changing production conditions on the fly. Whether facing fluctuations in raw material quantities and chemical compositions or unexpected shifts in demand, the system swiftly recalculates and recommends the most efficient course of action, ensuring uninterrupted operations and optimal cost savings.
The software minimises the need for casting adjustments by providing full control and traceability of the melting process and integrating various systems and devices used in the production, including chemical analysis tools and weighing systems. Moreover, it simplifies things for operators by preserving the accumulated production knowledge within the company, while its flexibility ensures that the production process remains agile and responsive to industry demands.
These smart, data-driven solutions for the optimisation of ElvalHalcor’s operations don’t just revolutionise its production processes. By automating complex decision-making processes, these tools facilitate real-time decision-making, eliminating manual inputs and calculation errors, and allowing employees to focus on higher-value tasks. It is a game-changer for ElvalHalcor, propelling the company towards greater efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness.
