New expert system for optimizing cement mills: Sicement IT MCO reduces energy costs and assures cement product quality
The Siemens Industry Solutions Division has developed Sicement IT MCO (Mill Control Optimization), an expert system which helps to forecast and then optimize the qualityrelevant operating parameters in cement mills. The software has a knowledge-based approach, and uses current plant data to adapt control parameters automatically, so relieving the operator of these tasks. This reduces energy consumption and has a positive effect on availability and profitability. The system has now been installed for the first time in a ball mill belonging to Suedbayerisches Portland-Zementwerk in Rohrdorf, Germany, where it has replaced the previous optimization system. The three other ball mills in the plant will be equipped successively with the new Sicement IT MCO expert system.
