The commissioning of submerged electric arc furnaces (SEAFs) for the production of ferroalloys is a complex and challenging process. According to a recent study, over 50% of ferroalloy plants experience problems during commissioning. These problems can have a significant impact on the bottom line of a ferroalloy plant. For example, a delay of just one month in commissioning can cost a plant millions of dollars in lost revenue.

The ferroalloy industry is a rapidly growing industry that plays a vital role in the global economy. The global ferroalloy market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2022 to 2027, reaching USD 65.2 billion by 2027.

The smelting industry is a cornerstone of modern civilization, yet it often operates behind the scenes, its importance hidden from the public eye. Smelting is the process of extracting metals from their ores, and it plays a pivotal role in various aspects of our lives, from the production of everyday items to the advancement of technology and the global economy.

In today's rapidly evolving industrial landscape, the integration of automation systems has become imperative for various manufacturing processes. Industrial furnace automation systems have emerged as a game-changer in the field of metallurgy and materials processing.
