Aiming at the problems of cumbersome operation

poor real-time performance

and error-prone calculations in the manual mode of the metal smelting furnace

an integrated feeding scheme including spectral data integration

batching calculation

information display

and weighing instructions was proposed. Firstly

rapid data collection was achieved based on the XML middleware data integration technology

and a low-cost batching calculation model was established.Secondly

information display and weighing instructions were realized on account of PLC. Finally

an integrated feeding system before the furnace was designed based on the InteCast ERP

which was applied to small and medium-sized enterprises. The results indicate that the integrated system is more convenient to operate

and charging calculation is reduced to the second level

which can significantly improve the feeding efficiency.
