Infrared 3D Camera
Overview
Corematic engineering has been engaged to provide a solution to an aluminium smelter in order to reduce the risk of lifting hot metal. When engaging the bridle with the ladle, the non-invasive system designed to provide a constant and reliable indication that the ladle is fully engaged prior to lifting.
Outcome
- Non-invasive solution
- Designed for pot line crane or cast house crane
- Off the shelf parts
- Plug and play
Benefit
- Considerably reduce the risk of dropping the ladle
- Provide trust signal to the operator
- Low cost

Smart Alert
Overview
Corematic Engineering has been engaged to review an existing proximity warning system designed by the customers. During the design review, the team has suggested an alternative technology that will divide the planned CAPEX by four. The system uses fewer components and a more affordable technology without compromising with the original requirements. In fact, the solution exceeds the client specification. Our system has been designed for the harsh pot line environment and is integrated into the crane HMI.
Outcome
- 40m detection range
- Customisable detections zone
- 2-way detection
- Lighting, dust, fume independent
- Compact
Benefit
- CAPEX considerably reduced thanks to the consulting phase
- Scalable solution
- Off the shelves parts and components
- Risk of collision reduce for a safer workplace

LiDAR
Overview
Corematic was approached by an aluminium smelter to come up with a solution to reduce the risk of production issues and safety concerns by designing a system that’s able to scan and review the production system and check for weld crack failures. Weld cracks become an issue when product travelling down system lines accumulate in these small fractures.
The specifications given for the scanner was to be able to detect crack failure wider than 2mm and deeper than 10mm. This 2 day event was a feasibility trip to test and verify our hardware for scanning and mapping in the field. We were able to verify that the scanner works, beating expectations and producing full 3d reconstructed mapping of weld cracks no less than 1mm wide and scan the lines for transfer deposits that could cause blockages.
Our non-invasive camera techniques meant production could continue with minimal impact. Following on from this trip we’re able to provide the client with a report and our recommendations for a full monitoring system based on our live field environment testing.
Outcome
- 1mm wide & 10mm deep weld crack detection
- Full 3d reconstruction mapping of lines for deposits & cracks
- Futuristic technology created for smelter specific equipment
- Non-invasive scanning techniques
Benefit
- Concept creation within a week
- Feasibility study and implementation in 2 days
- Preventative and predictive measures
- Exceeded specifications of measurements in scanning
