Powered by RFID technology, our system delivers real-time visibility into ladle movements, seamlessly integrating location data with weighbridge tonnage and LIMS chemical insights. From the blast furnace to the production line, empower your team with actionable, up-to-the-second information to optimize efficiency, enhance quality, and drive smarter decisions. Step into a new era of steel operations—where precision meets performance.
In steel production, precision and timing are everything—and LadleTracking System (LTS) delivers both with unrivaled strength. Powered by RFID technology, LTS provides real-time mastery over ladle locations, refreshing every 20 seconds to keep you in total command of your workflow. It seamlessly integrates weighbridge tonnage and LIMS chemical data, offering a unified view of production and quality that drives smarter decisions. With insights into idle ladles, TAT (Turn Around Time), and trip status, LTS boosts efficiency by cutting downtime and keeping operations agile. Designed by Perceptron Software Labs, this robust system—complete with intuitive dashboards and detailed reports—is tailored to the tough demands of steel plants. Choose LTS to unlock actionable intelligence and take control like never before, because in the world of steel, precision isn’t just an edge—it’s the foundation of success.

Blend weighbridge and LIMS data effortlessly for a complete view.
Enhanced efficiency through TAT and idle ladle insights
Turn actionable data into smarter production choices.
Backed by skilled field engineers for reliable performance.
RFID hardware is set up at strategic locations in the steel plant. Each ladle is tagged with an RFID identifier, and antennas placed at checkpoints scan the tags to track movements automatically.
Whenever a ladle moves through a tracked location, its RFID tag is automatically scanned. This data is recorded and updated in the system to ensure complete visibility of ladle movement across the plant.
The system dashboard provides a real time overview of all ladles in the plant. Ladles that are delayed or inactive are flagged for quick decision-making, helping avoid bottlenecks.
Operators can manually assign ladles to specific production units directly from the system. This ensures ladles are properly distributed across different sections of the plant, preventing idle time.
The system integrates with the weighbridge to track how much molten metal each ladle carries. It also connects with LIMS to ensure the correct chemical composition is maintained, improving product quality.
Tracking turnaround time (TAT) helps optimize ladle usage by reducing delays. If a ladle remains unused for a long time, it is flagged for cleaning or maintenance, preventing skull buildup.
Reports provide detailed analysis of how ladles are being used. This data helps improve scheduling, reduce downtime, and optimize resource utilization.
By tracking how often each ladle is used and how long it holds molten metal, the system can predict when cleaning or repairs are needed. This reduces skull formation, extends ladle life, and improves efficiency
The system is designed for scalability, making it easy to integrate advanced automation, AI-driven insights, and remote access capabilities in the future.
