Source: Société Le Nickel (SLN), part of Groupe Eramet, and Rockwell
To increase tonnage and uptime, and improve nickel ore calcination in its kilns, Groupe Eramet’s Société Le Nickel (SLN) in New Caledonia adopted Rockwell Automation’s FactoryTalk Analytics Pavilion 8 model-predictive control (MPC) software with an intelligence layer that sits on top of automation systems, continuously assesses present and predicted operations, and resets control targets to reduce variability and boost efficiency. Using MPC in its kilns, SLN reduced product temperature errors by 6%, cut temperature profile variability by 16.1%, and improved uptime from 70% to 83%.
