Thursday, April 7th, 2011

This application shows a complete aluminium manufacturing process. The tool was developed by Design and Systems Institute for Coperion.

It helps to communicate the internal operations in context of the whole process. Their tasks are involved in the design and implementation of a plant from project planning through to installation, and also in extremely complex individual process stages for handling alumina for the production of primary aluminium.

The user can navigate by 2D layers through the different parts in the virtual plant. Starting at raw material receiving with an controllable ship unloader up to the large hall with electrolysis cells.
