Bratsk Aluminum Plant BrAZ

The largest aluminum producer in the world, in 2008 became the plant million plus city. The product delivery of BrAZ to China which is the most perspective world market of aluminum takes only 4 days. Enters into the Rusal group.

About 30% of total amount of the aluminum produced in the territory of the Russian Federation and about 4% of the world market fall to the share of Bratsk Aluminum Plant. The plant is located near Bratsk, in 60 km from Brotherly hydroelectric power station. It was put into operation in 1966.

2019: Integration of big data into technology process

To Vkontsa October, 2019 to a nabraza there took place the first technology processing of the electrolyzer, a task the naprovedeniye of which was created to a naosnova of the analysis of data bulks of a potekhnologiya of Big data. It became known on December 12, 2019. BrAZ became the first enterprise of a vkompaniya where Big data is integrated vtekhnologichesky process.

For December, 2019 to a nabraza more than 2000 electrolyzers. Their condition is estimated to poneskolky tens of parameters, the number of data is measured by millions. The error of a nalyuby stage of decision-making is probable carry out the fast ikachestvenny analysis of all this information to the person physically to neposila. Nodlya of Big data technology existence of data bulks – it is rather an advantage which allows to develop cards of forecasts of technology violations rather quickly.

If earlier unplanned technology processing of electrolyzers was carried out to a violation detection pofakt, tobig data allows to predict it, to nedopustit. It completely changes all philosophy of technology process which passes otustraneniye of problems ky to prevention.

The road of a ktsifrovization was long. Creation of RUSAL v2000 became to year a push of a ksistematization of technology information of the enterprises of the aluminum industry, to emergence of electronic databases. Later, a naosnova of the received dependences, developed ivnedrit the algorithms supporting the normal technology course of electrolyzers. Av2019 to year factory workers, the staff of ITTs branch to a vbratska ispetsialist of the izdepartament of information technologies began working off ivnedreny Big Data technologies velektrolizny production of BrAZ.

The mathematical theory of the analysis of data bulks appeared for a long time. Kprimera, she answered zaprinyatiye of solutions to a vpoleta of the Soviet Snow-storm spaceship. Then, vkonets of the 80th years of Hkhvek, it was the "space" technology. Computing powers of computers became sufficient for its broad application, tells the head of department of electrolysis of department of ITTs technology to a vgoroda Bratsk, Candidate of Technical Sciences Semyon Nozhko

Carried out by the first electrolyzer, a nakotor unplanned technology processing to porekomendation of a system of predictive analytics, there was electrolyzer No.   356 which is serviced by Alexander Bondarev's crew.

The Big Data technology allowed us to analyze all situations which preceded decline in production of electrolyzers for a big period of time, to estimate all parameters of each electrolyzer, to create many thousands of technology templates and to develop actions for prevention of violations, tells Roman Vibe, the production engineer of the cathode node of Directorate on electrolysis of BrAZ

For December, 2019 a veksperiment participate several body of electrolysis, to a nouzha there are plans to podalneyshy replication of the received results. Experience of BrAZ will be demanded the nadrugy plants of the Company of an inavernyak will be interested foreign researchers^[1].
