An auxiliary intelligent system for flotators has started working at the Norilsk Enrichment Plant (NOF). The development will help the company's specialists in choosing the most successful and effective option for managing flotation machines. The implementation of the intelligent system was carried out as part of the modernization of the Norilsk Enrichment Plant, which is part of the Southern Cluster project included in the Yenisei Siberia Instrumentation and Control Center.
Information is sent to the system from the enrichment plant in real time. The so—called "couriers" - analyzers help in this. Every 15-20 minutes, the production automation service writes off the sample data, which accumulates both per shift and per day. Then this information flows into the server part of the intelligent system. The entire process is displayed here: from the air flow on the equipment to its control. It is at this stage that the system gives advice to flotators.
"We are systematically moving to a new stage of efficiency, maintaining the company's reputation as an advanced in the field of digitalization. Keeping up with the times, we introduce innovations into the production units of both the company as a whole and each asset in particular," said Damir Nuriev, Chief Manager of the Innovation Department at ZF Norilsk Nickel.
The implementation of the system began back in 2020, and during this time, experts have worked out all possible options for the development of the technology. The company is currently conducting pilot tests of innovations, and very soon it is planned to switch to a fully automatic operation mode.
