Steel Making Factory | 3D Monitoring

I led the development of a 3D simulation for the Hormozgan Steel Factory, using Three.js to integrate real-time data for visualizing and controlling factory processes online. I directed both the technical and creative aspects of the project, ensuring high-quality rendering, smooth camera interactions, and detailed annotations. Collaborating with Farashow and Ideh Bonyan Vira Company, I transformed factory data into an interactive 3D web experience. As a key Three.js developer, I played a crucial role in enhancing user interaction and contributing to the project’s overall success.

My Proccess

We can say it was similar to a Digital Twin project because the data was displayed in real-time and connected to actual sensors. Managers could monitor the 3D view and receive instant updates if any changes or issues occurred.

Step one

Steps

  • Step 1

    A crucial part of this project was converting vague references with no existing blueprints into a 3D model. Through extensive research, photos, and numerous trial-and-error iterations, we achieved the design that met the client's expectations.

    Step 1
  • Step 2

    A major challenge I solved was conducting in-depth research and synchronizing the modeling and web sections to prevent performance issues. This was crucial due to the high level of detail in the entire factory model.

    Step 2
  • Step 3

    In this image, you can see the casting section of the factory, where molten material is transformed into iron units. Additionally, in the next phase, we incorporated animations to enhance the visualization.

    Step 3
  • Step 4

    In this section, the DRI (Direct Reduced Iron) unit of the factory is shown, which is responsible for the reduction process. We integrated access points in the 3D model, allowing users to explore details and data for each section.

    Step 4
  • Step 5

    This is a 3D view that was created within a very limited time and without precise reference materials.

  • Step 6

    And this is a satellite image of the factory's DRI (Direct Reduction Iron) unit.
