  Towards Sustainable Aluminium Processing: Autonomous Quality Control Using Business Analytics
  Author(s): Kgothatso Matlala*, Amit Kumar Mishra and Deepak Puthal
  
  This paper presents work done as part of a transformation effort towards a greener and more sustainable Aluminium manufacturing plant. The effort includes reducing the carbon footprint by minimizing waste and increasing operational efficiency. The contribution of this work includes the reduction of waste through the implementation of autonomous, real- time quality measurement and classification at an aluminum casthouse. Data is collected from the MV20/20 which uses ultrasound pulses to detect molten aluminum inclusions, which degrade the quality of the metal and cause subsequent metal waste. The sensor measures cleanliness, inclusion counts and distributions from 20-160 microns. The contribution of this work is in the development of business analytics to implement condition-based monitoring through anomaly detection, and to classify inclusion types for samples tha..
