Main Features

  • QMC connects to the control system to manage raw meal materials proportion in real time
  • It controls raw mill feeder set points based on constrains and criterias that are specific to the raw mill configuration
  • The expert system takes its input from online analyzers and/or laboratory XRF, it finds the optimal proportions and sends it back to the plant’s control system
  • The proprietary optimization algorithm has been fined tuned over several years and is taillored to the plant operations to propose optimal and efficient solutions even in the most complex configurations
  • QMC can also be used in disconected mode where the raw mix proportion are not sent to the control system
  • QMC connect to the control system via DCOM/OPC configuration or via tunneling
  • The application is distributed via the industrial application store “IA_Updater”
  • Protected by internal LH license mechanism
