These tools enable the simulation and optimisation of furnace settings in real time and provide operators with important insights. A key objective was to develop a user-friendly interface with the Siemens Insights Hub Cloud Service and Node-RED that enables interactive management and support. The interface allows operators to analyse and compare past and simulated batches by adjusting the input data and parameters, resulting in improved optimisation and reduced costs. In addition, the system focuses on the collection and pre-processing of input data for the simulator and optimiser and uses Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) communication between the user interfaces and models to ensure seamless data exchange. The EAF Simulator uses a comprehensive mathematical model to simulate the complex dynamics of heat and mass transfer, while the EAF Optimiser uses a fuzzy logic-based approach to predict optimal energy consumption. The integration with Siemens Edge Streaming Analytics ensures robust data collection and real-time responsiveness. The dual-interface design improves user accessibility and operational flexibility.
