SUMMARY:Data-driven maintenance for the Paul Wurth Bell Less Top® charging system
DESCRIPTION:Driven by the growing pressure to maximize production efficiency, the digital transformation has gained momentum within the industrial sector. Data-driven solutions will take over a crucial part in future production and increasingly improve processes across the entire life cycle of plants. The following contribution puts maintenance of one of the core technology in today’s blast furnace iron making in the light of the digital age: the Paul Wurth Bell Less Top® charging system.  
With the overall objective to ensure a long service life, optimum performance and reliable operation, the Bell Less Top needs to be continuously monitored. During operation, the system may output phenomena that are not easy to detect using a programmable logic controller. Key for a reliable monitoring is lying in the detection of short-, medium- and long-term trends, the recognition of recurrent events, the comparison of current states with historical baselines and particularly the recognition of dependencies between several phenomena. Reliable monitoring allows to efficiently implement maintenance processes in order to optimize the use of resources and reduce downtime. Maintenance can be scheduled on real condition and advanced statistics rather than on preventive actions. 
This contribution gives insights on how BLTXpert™, a condition and performance monitoring system for the Paul Wurth Bell Less Top, provides significant added value to the operator as well as maintenance staff and paves the way from fail and fix to prevent and predict.
