ES IIITM INTRODUCTION

SiemensHoneywellABBAllen BradlyYokogawaRosemount FisherEurotherm

• ESIII finds correlations between multiple input and output variables, incl. disturbance variables.

• GS ESIII state of the Art with about 5% of glass furnaces worldwide installed

• Final Goal is automatic glass quality control (melting seeds)

Models are in most cases created automaticaly from Historic data and used for Full Automatic Furnace control 95% of time

How to Save Energy with ESIIITM Process Control?

Glass temperature stabilization can be used to save energyby reduction of production temperature setpoint

Operate furnace at lower temperature,but keep above critical limit to prevent glass defects

Image Grabbing and Batch Identification

Batch Identification and Monitoring Container Glass

A furnace camera image isgrabbed and analyzed every minute.

Special batch identificationsoftware is able to recognize the islands of batch(yellow) floating on top of theglass (blue). Potential builduparound the camera opening(red) is excluded from theanalysis.

In a calibrated top viewthe batch can becharacterized in termsof distribution of batchcoverage [m2] andmaximum batch length[m].

Batch cover correlation with crown temperature

Variation in batch coverage has direct impact on furnace temperatures: crown temperature dropswhen batch moves to front offurnace.

Measured batch coverage area isused as additional input in ESIIIfurnace temperature control.

Next step: ESIII control of batchcoverage by automatic adjustmentof batch charging directions.
