Novelty / Uniqueness


A. Trigger for Innovation

R Factor = Area(in)

Area(out)

Incorrect R Factor may lead to:

1. Tension or Compression which

can cause cobble in mill

2. Cobble in mill

3. Abnormal load on mill stands


B. Challenges and Overcoming Them (1/2)

Challenges with R Factor Control:

• Operator has to take decision by monitoring thousands of Data Points every hour.

• Operator adjusts R Factor based on his best judgement.

• While adjusting the potential of a wrong decision is as high as 13%. .

Correct Decision

Incorrect Decision

OEM has no solution available for this problem.


B. Challenges and Overcoming Them (2/2)

Processing of millions of data Institutionalize Human Knowledge is

key to the problem resolution

Data Analytics was used to

generate meaningful solution

Capturing Operator

experience and

defining Business

Rule

Formation of 18 Dimensional Matrix

through Multivariate Analytics

Determining the regions of high purity using

K Means Clustering

Plane drawing to segregate the good and

bad clusters through Logistic Regression

visualization

• 1st in world to use R Factor clusters for mill setting.

• Option to choose from 5 different clusters for every section

• Similar R Factor settings in all shifts

• Quantitative capturing of Operator knowledge

• Online R Factor trend available

• Mill settings done based on R Factor

• Data categorized in green-yellow-red based on deviation

from selected cluster


E. Confirmation of Effects and Way Forward

• Before : on horizontal axis includes delays due to abnormalities in R

factor during the period H2 FY’18 for which campaign wise data is

taken to train the model.

• After : on horizontal axis indicates the delay due to abnormal R

factors over a period H1 Fy’19 which is seen to decline by 34% when

calculated as avg delay in min per day during the period.

• This would lead to a reduction of delay by 7.7 hrs per month which

would lead to incremental savings of Rs 3.22 Cr Annually

1. Inter-stand head tracking time difference

2. Mill Shear (S8 and S16) intelligent monitoring

3. Looper actuation tracking

4. Loop Height abnormality detection
