Prof. Anirudha Joshi from IDC IIT Bombay worked on interactive visualisations for reheating furnaces for the National Institute of Secondary Steel Technology (NISST). The project focused on creating tools that visually represented the complex processes involved in reheating furnaces used in the steel industry. Reheating furnaces are crucial in the steel production process as they heat steel to a temperature suitable for further processing, such as rolling. However, the operations can be intricate, involving variables like temperature control, fuel consumption, and furnace efficiency. Prof. Joshi's interactive visualisations aimed to simplify these complexities, enabling operators and engineers to better understand and optimise furnace operations. These visualisations likely included dynamic models of the furnace environment, heat distribution, and process flows, allowing users to simulate different scenarios and observe the effects in real-time.
