A method of evaluating the tap weight during the production of iron in several blast furnaces simultaneously is proposed. The following systems developed by the NTTs Pribor for Severstal and underlying the method are considered: radar iron-level monitoring system, mixer positioning system, and automated rolling-stock accounting system. It is proposed to integrate the weighing system, hot-metal pouring control systems, and rolling-stock accounting system into an integrated information system. The method allows increasing the accuracy and efficiency of evaluating the tap weight.
