Abstract

The core of the cement production process is the clinker kiln. Proper operation of the kiln depends on factors such as the timely monitoring of its thermal behavior under different operation conditions. This work includes a systematization of empirical knowledge of skilled kiln operators, linking it with the analysis of thermography images of the kiln using Open CV. The paper includes an integration of interventions implemented by the operators, in terms of a log described in natural language. The work highlights potential uses of the knowledge of experienced operators, when this is combined with techniques based on image analysis and artificial intelligence.
