Integrated refractory management system and control method therefor

An integrated refractory management system comprising:

• a cable module at least partially inserted into a refractory;
• a measurement module disposed outside the refractory and measuring a current signal flowing through the cable module;
• an integrated management module determining a condition of the refractory based on the current signal measured by the measurement module, displaying the condition of the refractory, and generating management information on the refractory;
• and
• a local terminal receiving the management information from the integrated management module,
• wherein the cable module comprises one or more cables disposed inside the refractory, and each of the cables comprises:
• a metal wire having both ends coupled to the measurement module;
• and a space securing coating layer coated onto at least a portion of an outer surface of the metal wire in order to secure an expansion space for the metal wire by being melted,
• wherein the metal wire comprises a wire main body having a screw shape and a protrusion having a saw tooth shape and protruding from at least a portion of an outer surface of the wire main body,
• wherein the measurement module comprises:
• a sensor for measuring the current signal flowing through the cable module;
• and a data transmitter for transmitting the current signal measured by the sensor to the integrated management module,
• wherein the integrated management module comprises:
• a data reception unit for receiving the current signal sent from the data transmitter;
• a data analysis unit configured for analyzing the condition of the refractory by calculating the current signal sent from the data reception unit a data output unit for displaying the condition of the refractory determined by the data analysis unit to monitor the condition of the refractory;
• and a management instruction unit configured for transmitting management information on the refractory to the local terminal,
• wherein the integrated management module further comprises a data storage for storing information related to the condition of the refractory,
• wherein the data analysis unit is further configured to determine management information of the refractory based on number and history of the refractory stored in the data storage,
• wherein the data output unit is further configured to display the available stock and history of the refractory, and damage and breakage histories of the refractory.
