Objective of Process Automation
- Automate the filtration and washing (F&D) processes in slurry concentration to prevent overflow, and reduce process time and manual operations
- Automate decision-making for completion of filtration using AI vision (CNN) to analyze the filter dryer status
CNN-based Automation Mechanism
- CNN module analyzes camera footage in real-time to determine completion of filtration
- DVR captures and transmits video to the AI server
- If CNN detects "filtration complete", IPOES triggers automatic opening of discharge valve
Result of CNN–IPOES Integrated Operation Automation
- Slurry concentration process:
- Average process time reduced by 28% (approx. 4h 30min saved)
- Manual operation frequency reduced by over 95% (from 123 times → 3 times)
- Filtration/Washing (F&D) process:
- Operation count reduced from 108 times → 2 times
