Coal: Size Matters
Coal: Size Matters
Our client’s current coal size process relied heavily on manual surveys, which often detected oversize material too late in the flow. Delayed detection meant oversize coal was not addressed immediately, increasing the likelihood of customer complaints when product specifications were not met. The situation also exposed the company to potential client penalties and declining customer satisfaction due to inconsistent product quality.
COSMOS: Turning Conveyor Vision into Coal Quality Intelligence
SQE introduced COSMOS, a Smart Coal System, CCTV- and computer vision–based platform that automatically measures coal size on the conveyor belt and identifies the frequency and volume of oversize material in real time. With NVIDIA-powered processing, COSMOS delivers high-speed video analytics, low-latency detection, and scalable edge deployment—enabling our client to:
●
Continuously analyzes coal flow to detect oversize material
●
Receive notifications when oversize exceeds defined limits
●
Generate structured reports to support quality evaluation and continuous improvement.
●
Adjust crusher settings to reduce oversize occurrence.
