Abstract
This paper presents an approach to discover patterns in big data sets and applying methods of artificial intelligence (AI) for interpretation. The paper will present the use of AI to identify the main refractory wear mechanism in the hot spots and to predict the refractory behavior. Further, this intelligent system is applied to analyze and compare different maintenance philosophies. As an example of the impact on daily operations in steel plants, a daily report is presented, which provides all the necessary key information when a refractory-related decision is to be made. The paper also examines and discusses the operational impact and future applications.
