iSteel-Expert

The project aims at implementing and demonstrating in an industrial environment a remote expert virtual system to monitor events and suggest actions, to minimize the need of human presence in critical areas around the furnace in the melting area of a steel plant. The system, based on IOT implementation supporting standard and maintenance operations and enhancing human management capabilities, detects and standardizes relevant events and their consequences. Finally, it prevents the loss of individual knowledge through the implementation of knowledge-based tool that work integrated in a interactive training tools, which favour preservation, transfer and continuous evolution of the industry's wealth of knowledge.
