[0002] At present, the scheduling of the three furnaces in the smelting plant is based on the experience of the planning personnel, taking into account production output, operation timing, operation rhythm and many other production scheduling procedures as well as special situation handling mechanisms to produce production scheduling. The operation scheduling method depends on the planning personnel on site, and it is difficult to comprehensively consider the production scheduling procedures and collaborative operation among the three furnaces, resulting in weak operation rhythm, especially in abnormal situations, it is difficult to quickly form an optimal production schedule to ensure production efficiency.
[0003] The crane scheduling task depends on the crane operator to execute, and because of the lack of crane position information, there is a possibility of collision when multiple cranes in the smelting workshop operate on the same track. This way of manually operating the crane based on experience has a long transportation time for the ladles among the three furnaces, resulting in low scheduling efficiency and, in serious cases, may cause safety accidents, making the entire scheduling process lack efficiency, stability and safety.
[0004] The coordination and collision avoidance scheduling among multiple cranes require manual coordination. Because the current state, task content and priority of the crane cannot be grasped in time, quick scheduling instructions cannot be formed, and abnormal situations cannot be decided in time, resulting in long empty flight time and waiting time of the crane, and low coordination efficiency among cranes. At the same time, the material hoisting operation and the production operation of the three furnaces lack linkage, and the overall coordination of smelting production cannot be achieved, affecting the production efficiency of the three furnaces.
