85 COVER STORY MILLER / JULY 2022 5) Number of Corrective and Preventive Ac- tion Suggestions per Personnel: It is a param- eter that shows the support and contribution of the production personnel to the maintenance process. 7. AN EXAMPLE OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY USE IN MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES JETMASTER Advanced Controller and Fault Analyzer for Jet Pulsed Filters: Technology is the most effective competitive el- ement. Jetmaster advanced jet filter control and fault analysis system can be given as an example to the devices with artificial intelligence technolo- gy, which are used in maintenance activities and provide significant advantages to the business. These technological devices, which are widely used in most of today's large mills, provide great convenience to the production personnel. Thanks to this device, the pollution rate of the filter bags, the change time of the filter bags, per- foration on filter bags, the filter bag drop, the in- ability of blowing of some filter bags, perforations at the diaphragms can be determined. In addition, air leaks, perforation of the filter tank, blower fail- ure, blockage of the blower filter, lack of pressure in the filter air tank, late rise in the pressure of the filter tank, not reducing the pressure sufficiently when blowing into the filter bags are detected im- mediately. In addition, these faults are also moni- tored on the main SCADA screen of the mill, and there is no need for the personnel to go to the jet filter for a malfunction. Figure 1 shows a working Jetmaster device [1]. 8. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS Today's milling is on the eve of switching to un- manned production. In order to exist in the sector, production-related problems such as breakdown stops must be completely resolved. Because these problems prevent us from focusing on es- sential works. In order to eliminate manufacturing problems, a very effective MMS should be estab- lished and this system should be implemented effectively. The technology developing in MMS operation should be transferred to the mills rap- idly, maintenance burden should be reduced and competitiveness should be increased thanks to artificial intelligence devices such as Jetmaster.
