AI camera monitoring and safe ladle pickup in Belgium
ArcelorMittal Belgium connected AI camera checks to crane lifting controls
Problem
Workers previously checked ladle-hook attachment visually from elevated positions. An attachment error could endanger molten-steel handling.
Approach
ArcelorMittal developed analytics that Axis helped transfer from servers to cameras. The Safe Ladle Pickup application checked attachment and withheld lifting permission through the crane controller. An override required another person on the ground to confirm attachment.
Results
No published figures
Takeaway
The camera check became part of the lifting interlock. Human confirmation remained necessary when operators bypassed the application.
