Energy & Power - Smart Equipment

The ash silo system at the power plant receives bottom ash from coal-fired boilers delivered by conveying equipment such as chain bucket conveyors and bucket elevators. Current daily internal cleaning operations primarily involve workers entering the silo through a narrow access point at the top, secured by safety ropes, to perform ash removal. This routine cleaning process is highly challenging, carries significant risk factors, and poses substantial personal safety hazards.

System composition and process

On the top platform of the slag silo steel structure, a smart equipment system for autonomous intelligent slag removal was developed using key technologies such as 3D laser scanning, AI analysis of 3D point cloud data, and multi-joint autonomous control. This AI-based composite multi-joint control system replaces manual slag removal operations, ensuring safe production and stable operation at the power plant.
