What we monitor
The equipment that keeps your mill running
Blast Furnaces
Refractory condition, shell temperature distribution, and hot-spot detection. Continuous monitoring for planned relinings instead of emergency shutdowns.
Continuous Casters
Mold level, strand temperature, and breakout prediction. Real-time risk scoring to prevent catastrophic events.
Rolling Mills
Vibration analysis, bearing health tracking, and alignment monitoring. Roll wear detection before it affects product quality.
Sound familiar?
Extreme temperatures destroy everything
Temperatures above 1500 C eat through sensors, refractory, and equipment at rates that defy standard maintenance schedules. By the time you see degradation visually, you're already in emergency territory.
24/7 operations, zero tolerance
Blast furnaces and casters run continuously. An unplanned shutdown doesn't just cost production hours. It requires days of restart procedures and risks permanent damage to refractory and cooling systems.
Safety-critical environment
Molten steel, extreme heat, and massive mechanical forces create an environment where maintenance failures don't just cause downtime, they risk lives. Every maintenance procedure must be executed precisely, every time.
How Dovient works
An AI copilot that understands furnace operations, caster dynamics, and rolling mill health
Dovient connects to your existing Level 2 systems, historian data, and CMMS. The AI agents learn your mill's patterns and proactively manage the work your team shouldn't have to do manually.
Furnace refractory and shell temperature monitoring
Agents track shell temperature distribution, identify hot spots, and model refractory wear patterns. Relinings are planned weeks in advance based on actual condition, not calendar estimates.
Refractory wear tracked continuously for planned relinings.
Rolling mill vibration and alignment tracking
Vibration signatures, bearing temperatures, and roll alignment are monitored continuously. The system learns normal operating envelopes and flags deviations weeks before they cause failures.
Rolling mill bearing failures predicted 2 to 4 weeks early.
Continuous caster breakout prediction
Mold friction, strand temperature, and oscillation patterns are analyzed in real-time. Breakout risk is scored continuously, giving operators early warning of dangerous conditions.
Caster breakout risk scored in real-time.
Safety-integrated maintenance with lockout/tagout tracking
Safety permits, LOTO procedures, and hot work authorizations are generated and tracked automatically. Every maintenance entry is documented with safety verification.
Safety permits and LOTO procedures generated automatically.
