Improved safety and productivity in cokemaking - Pumas from Siemens combines camera-based coke oven monitoring with optimized battery-machine positioning


Siemens VAI has developed a new camera-based coke oven monitoring system, referred to as Pumas (PUshing MAnagement System), that allows various oven criteria and parameters to be examined, measured and documented when the coke oven door is open during coke pushing. This solution also includes the functions and features of the existing Level 2 Radiposi (Radio Digital Positioning) system from Siemens for precise control, positioning and interlocking of mobile coke oven battery equipment. The result is improved scheduling of coke oven maintenance activities, safer operations and thus higher cokemaking productivity.
