This conference, which is organized annually by The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society, is one of the most significant and recognized events within the scientific community interested in the production of primary aluminium.
The paper, entitled «Carbon Block Tracking Package Based on Vision Technology» presented an innovative Anode Tracking System based on Vision that uses the digital signature of the anode (as a fingerprint), which has been successfully proof-of-concept validated at Liberty Aluminium Dunkerque smelter in France. The solution is integrated into Amelios Suite, the comprehensive anode production optimization system based on the intensive aggregation and exploitation of digital data.
