Automation of Furnaces for Heat Treatment of Aluminum, Worksite Focus !
Industrial automation to boost the performance of an aluminum heat treatment plant
As part of the extension of a plant specializing in the heat treatment of aluminum, IESA was asked to contribute its expertise in industrial automation. The objective? To ensure the integration and commissioning of the automation systems for the furnaces and their loader, guaranteeing smooth, efficient production right from the start-up of this new line.
A strategic project for the aluminum heat treatment industry
The aluminum industry relies on precise and demanding processes, particularly when it comes to heat treatment. This key stage aims to improve the mechanical characteristics of the material by perfectly controlling the heating and cooling cycles.
In this context, industrial automation plays an essential role by guaranteeing :
- Precise temperature control to ensure the conformity of processed parts,
- Optimization of production cycles to maximize plant efficiency,
- Advanced equipment supervision to anticipate and reduce production stoppages.
Our mission in detail: integration and commissioning at an aluminum heat treatment plant
Our intervention covers all the steps required to automate the six furnaces and their loader:
✔️ PLC programming and supervision: development and parameterization of systems for optimized operation, ✔️ Systems integration: on-site installation and configuration of equipment, ✔️ Equipment testing: checking the correct operation of PLCs and sensors, ✔️ AMS certification: validation of temperature curves to ensure compliance of heating cycles, ✔️ Validation of loading and unloading cycles: tests in real-life conditions with the automatic loader.
Our industrial automation assignment for an aluminum heat treatment plant was carried out in China.
Our teams are currently mobilized in China to finalize the commissioning of the installations. This critical phase ensures that all the equipment works in perfect harmony, in line with the customer’s requirements.
We’d like to give a special mention to Pierre, who is accompanying the project on site and making sure it runs smoothly.
We thank EFR for its trust !
