Computer-vision coal sizing at Angul
Jindal Steel deployed conveyor cameras to measure coal sizes at Angul
Problem
Manual sampling delayed feedback on coal particle sizes. Operators needed timely measurements to adjust crusher settings.
Approach
Jindal Steel deployed Ripik's computer-vision coal-sizing application at Angul during April and May 2024. Conveyor cameras and edge AI measured particle distributions in real time. The team compared the measurements with laboratory sieve analysis.
Results
No published figures
Takeaway
The deployment connected continuous measurements to crusher adjustments. The supplier reported less manual intervention without quantifying savings.
