The smelting charging function is computer automated and it must have been checked many times when the anomaly in the amount of output produce was first recognized.
"The screened raw materials were taken using a conveyer system to the third floor of the furnace and stored in separate over head bunkers. Each of the three raw materials were weighed according to *a computerized batching system* and transferred into charging buckets running on monorails in the second floor. Charging buckets then discharged the premixed raw materials into the furnace every 10–15 min through chutes. Shift-wise consumption of all raw materials was totalized to obtain daily (24 h) consumption data."
