AI-Based Induction Furnace Power Optimization System

Problem Overview

Induction furnace parameters such as power, current, voltage, temperature, charge weight and melting time are monitored separately, making it difficult to determine the optimum power profile for each heat. The challenge is to use real-time and historical heat data to recommend power adjustments, predict melting time, target temperature and energy consumption, and improve process efficiency.

Industrial Context & Background

AI/ML / Energy Optimization / Smart Foundry

Technical Requirements

1) Use real-time furnace parameters
2) Learn from historical heat data
3) Grade/charge-wise modelling
4) Operator-friendly recommendations
5) Track predicted vs actual performance

Suggested Technology Stack: Machine Learning; Time-Series Analytics; IIoT; Furnace Data Integration

Expected Solution & Prototype

1) Optimum power recommendation
2) Melting-time prediction
3) Energy-consumption prediction
4) Operator recommendations
5) Reduced energy and melting time
