A key topic for global companies is ESG (environmental, social, and governance). Even in a situation where the importance of the environment and safety is higher than ever, in order to strengthen competitiveness, companies must make quick changes and reflect the trend of the times in their work.

 

However, there are challenges that must be addressed. There is no way to directly extract reliable data from high-temperature and high-pressure facilities, and most companies around the world maintain facility management methods through direct on-site verification of workers, making it difficult to quantify facility status data to achieve ESG.

There are companies that have come up with a challenge to solve these difficulties in the industrial field.

 

EXCELLO (CEO Park Seong-Jae, www.iEXCELLO.com), a company specializing in DX (Digital Transformation) solutions, is the first in the world to provide a solution that enables the extraction of real-time state data and big data analysis of equipment used in high-temperature and high-pressure environments over 1,600°C. Developed and commercialized successfully.

 

The EXCELLO IRS (Intelligent Real-time System) solution extracts data through direct measurement inside the high-temperature facility and then provides information necessary for facility maintenance through edge computing in the form of a monthly subscription service. The feature is that the data reliability, which is pointed out as a limitation of the existing external measurement method, has been significantly improved.

 

First, in the case of an incinerator/cement company, the erosion rate of refractories per hour, the time and rate of loss of energy wasted outside the facility, and the usable time of the refractories until the next repair period can be grasped in real-time through the EXCELLO solution. This information is closely related to the operational efficiency that incinerators/cement companies are facing. This is because sales and operating profit are determined depending on how much the repair period can be minimized and converted into operating hours 365 days a year. With EXCELLO's solution, the incinerator/cement company can not only produce safe continuous production with the same number of facilities and operation methods but also increase sales and improve operating profit.

 

In the case of steel mills, the performance of refractory materials leads to production efficiency and production cost. In fact, in 2017, Company P attempted to improve the components of the refractory bricks inside the Torpedo Ladle Car (TLC), and there was a case in which the durability of the TLC, that is, the service life, was extended only by improving some components. The EXCELLO solution provides big data-based analysis data such as thickness, thermal conductivity, and energy loss rate that indicate the performance of refractories, so that when a customer replaces refractories when to replace equipment, and how much We present a predictive model that indicates whether fossil fuels should be used. Through this, in the case of steel makers, it is possible to efficiently use the energy costs of hundreds of billions of dollars invested to increase the temperature of the molten metal.

 

It was not an easy task to apply big data and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, which were only considered exclusive to high-tech companies, to the traditional manufacturing sector in extreme environments. EXCELLO has invested in intensive technology development over the past five years, and as a result, it has been able to provide high-temperature and high-pressure facility monitoring solution services to global steelmakers. Currently, EXCELLO Solutions is making a name for itself as a company that is good both inside and outside the industrial field. One is to improve production efficiency by minimizing energy loss, and the other is to achieve ESG that helps reduce carbon emissions. So-called, it is the most realistic alternative to catching two rabbits, and it is growing presence as a customized solution for severe disasters.

 

CEO Park Seong-Jae of EXCELLO said, “Through the EXCELLO solution, workers do not have to go to the site directly through reliable data extraction, analysis, and utilization, and accurate condition monitoring of equipment, such as how much energy loss occurs in which equipment, is Because it is possible, it can dramatically improve worker safety, company cost reduction and production efficiency.”

 

EXCELLO Co., Ltd. is the company that won the Industry 4.0 category in the incubating challenge program of Europe's Paul Wurth, the world's No. 1 design engineering company, in 2016. Exclusive supply with SAB, a global blower pipe (hot air pipe) supplier In addition to contracts, it provides application and data services to global steel companies P and H companies' blast furnaces, large tangents (the way molten iron flows), blower pipes, and ladles (facilities that move molten iron).

 

On the other hand, EXCELLO is taking off as a global DX solution specialist by applying solutions and reviewing contracts with overseas global companies based on active service references in various industries such as domestic steel/steel manufacturing, incinerators, cement, and carbon black.
