"This is our ANYmal, which performs autonomous thermal inspections of the furnace bottom in an electric-arc furnace monitoring for washout: liquid steel penetrating the refractory lining and the steel shell, spilling into the pit. ANYmal captures the thermal imagery under the active furnace, so nobody from the operations team has to. ANYbotics' operations platform, known as Shift, identifies hotspots in that imagery as potential washout precursors and flags them to the maintenance team, so the lining can be repaired before it fails. Downtime gets prevented, and a job becomes less hazardous for team members."
