en.Wedoany.com Reported - China's SCIYON recently launched an autonomous and controllable full-process control system solution for electrolytic aluminum. Featuring a fully domestically produced product matrix, it covers intelligent control across all work sections from the carbon plant to the casting workshop, replacing imported equipment, and has already been implemented in multiple enterprises.
Electrolytic aluminum production sites have long faced extreme operating conditions such as strong magnetic fields, high temperatures, and heavy dust. In the past, they heavily relied on imported control systems, leading to pain points like high technical barriers, long spare parts cycles, and slow operation and maintenance response. Based on a full-stack, independently controllable technology, SCIYON combines products such as the SC6000 PLC, NT6000 DCS, SyncSCADA system, and unmanned overhead cranes to build an integrated system of hardware, software, and algorithms. This system is adapted to strong magnetic and high-dust environments, supports full redundancy and hot-swapping, is compatible with mainstream industrial protocols, and can achieve a comprehensive replacement of imported equipment.
In the specific application of the electrolytic aluminum full-process control system, the carbon plant adopts an unmanned overhead crane system to achieve full-process automation for furnace charging and discharging, and material spreading and collection. Through 3D vision and Gray bus positioning, it creates unmanned workshop operations while simultaneously enabling carbon block quality traceability. The anode assembly workshop uses the SyncSCADA platform to achieve one-click start/stop for the entire process, compatible with various PLCs such as Siemens and Rockwell. Fault interlocks can reduce the probability of accidents caused by misoperation by 90%. The electrolysis workshop uses SyncSCADA as the central hub to connect subsystems such as alumina conveying, multi-function overhead cranes, and pot control machines, achieving resistance to strong magnetic fields, on-demand material supply, and remote management and control. The casting workshop interfaces with robot PLCs through a dual mode of "hardwiring + industrial communication," ensuring zero delay for emergency stop signals. The utility and environmental protection systems connect the data links for processes like flue gas purification and wastewater treatment, achieving centralized coordination and environmental compliance, and can automatically generate emission reports and provide over-limit warnings.
Currently, this solution has been successfully deployed in projects for enterprises such as Aluminum Corporation of China (Chalco), State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC), Datang International, Xinfa Group, and Sunstone Group, providing a replicable path for the localization and replacement of full-process control systems in the electrolytic aluminum industry.
