Abstract

Ladle monitoring systems are crucial for optimizing steel melting operations, enhancing material and equipment flow, reducing wait times, boosting production, facilitating rapid problem-solving, and ensuring steel quality. While GPS and RFID are common tracking methods, GPS's accuracy is indoor limited, and RFID's precision is constrained by range and proximity. However, a proposed Ultra-Wideband (UWB) system, offering precise tracking by utilizing radio waves. UWB translates pulses into data, operating at a high frequency. UWB anchors transmit signals to UWB tags, calculating roundtrip time for location determination (Time of Flight). These values are converted into location coordinates using a plane position algorithm and stored in a database. A web app in the centralized control system retrieves and displays tracked data, including the ladle's current position, ensuring efficient material flow and real-time monitoring of steel quality.
