One of the problems of the use of drum pelletizers in metallurgy is the lining wear, as well as the economic costs associated with it, including increased energy costs during operation and the need to periodically stop the units and then replace the lining. Most significantly the trajectory of particle motion affects the lining wear profile and wear intensity. It is assumed that during the implementation of the technological process, a monodisperse occurs, which has the greatest effect on the wear profile. In addition, the lining wear is influenced by the impact of particles at an acute angle, with a maximum impact caused by a collision at an angle of 39°18′. At present there are no universal solutions for determining the degree of lining wear in real time with a corresponding adjustment of the pelletizing process parameters. Creating a system for monitoring the lining wear is necessary for timely repair and maintenance of equipment to prevent an emergency situation, as well as increase the service life of the aggregates. This article proposes a concept of a method that allows to evaluate the trajectory of the charge during the technological process according to the coordinates of the movement and acceleration of the probe in the unit during the implementation of the technological process. The digitization and analysis of data obtained from the probe will allow to assess the integrity of the lining surface, the degree of lining wear and places with increased wear rate in real time with the possibility of adjusting technological processes to increase the lining service life. The obtained data will allow to clarify the computer model of the process by assessing the behavior of the charge in the unit and create a reserve for the further implementation of digital twin equipment.

Radial charts were commonly used in the industry to allow retrospective assessment of technological parameters. Today it is relevant to digitize the obtained data in order to simplify the automation of technological processes. Digitization of radial charts by means of standard methods is carried out with the help of human labor at significant time costs. The article proposes an automated method for digitizing radial charts using software, developed in the LabVIEW programming environment. The results of processing radial charts are displayed on the screen in numerical and graphical form, and can also be exported to a file (for example, to Notepad or MS Excel). The presented technique can be applied to images obtained on a color or black-and-white scanner, which minimizes geometric distortions, associated with the conversion of a paper document into electronic form, and ensures recognition quality of the clear plot line with an average relative error of up to 3 %. In case of ink fading or perspective photos of the diagram, the value of relative error can reach 8 %, as a result of which additional manual correction of the data will be required.

The paper discusses the method of identifying the technical condition of induction motors by classifying the energy data coming from the main common power bus. The work shows the simulation results of induction motor operation. The correlation between occurring defects and current diagrams is presented. The developed simulation model is demonstrated. The general algorithm for conducting experiments is described. Five different experiments to develop an algorithm for the classification are conducted: determination of the motors number in operation with different power; determination of the motors number in operation with equal power; determination of the mode and load of induction electric motor; determination of the fault and its magnitude with regard to operation and load of induction motor; determination of the fault and its magnitude with regard to operation and load of induction motor with regard to non-linear load in the flow. The article also presents an algorithm for preprocessing data to solve the classification problem. In addition, the classification results are shown and recommendations for testing and using the classification algorithm on a real object are made.
