7 ARDIS systems at the Kachkanar Ore Mining and Processing Plant

Mallenom Systems, in cooperation with its partner Automated Systems and Complexes JSC (ASC), completed the implementation of seven ARDIS systems for commercial inspection and visual railcar number recognition at the Kachkanar Ore Mining and Processing Plant (EVRAZ KGOK) in the Sverdlovsk region in July 2024. The system solves the tasks of railcar identification, management of railway product shipment, and railcar movement control.

The ARDIS system allows to automatically identify locomotives and exclude them from reporting, archive complete information about the passing trains, generate reports and, if necessary, transfer information to third-party systems. Railcar number recognition control is carried out via the operator's AWS.

Basic functionality of the system:

  • calculation of number of the railcars;
  • generation of images of every railcar;
  • automatic identification of railcar numbers from sides and frame;
  • generation of information on railcars (photo, video, inventory number, speed of passage, date/time, number of axles, railcar type, etc.).

Within the framework of the project the system was adapted to the customer's requirements. Mallenom Systems specialists additionally implemented in the ARDIS software:

  • control of the upper dimensions of the railcar (integration with the foul-to-gauge detector);
  • additional program features for defects marking on the video frames of cars for the operator’s convenience of commercial inspection;
  • additional program features for video revision on separate monitors for operator's convenience.

ARDIS systems were implemented at 7 points of the railroad track. The composition of each system:

  • cameras and illuminators;
  • wheelset sensors;
  • server;
  • switching cabinets;
  • power cabinets;
  • ARDIS software.

The ARDIS Implementation allowed the company to facilitate and speed up the inspection of railcars, improve management of complaints regarding the condition of railcars and cargoes.
