The No. 3 blast furnace at the Mizushima works applies artificial intelligence techniques in its modernized plant control system. Artificial intelligence has been applied to: diagnose the blast furnace condition and control furnace heat (a diagnostic type of expert system); control hot stove heat by fuzzy theory; support the gas flow distribution control by neural network; control material charging rates by fuzzy theory and other tasks. These functions have greatly contributed to the high degree of automation and efficient operation of the furnace.
