Today's production management systems (PMS) include a high level of process automation, approaching 100 percent digital transparency of plant production. Adaptability is one of the key challenges for the next generation of PMS solutions. The metals industry needs production automation that can adapt to changing production conditions.

Government regulations and sustainability measures impose cost pressure on steelmakers but also drives the trend towards more efficient energy consumption. When it comes to efficiently managing energy consumption and scheduling production, steel producers face enormous challenges due to their complexity, requiring high level of expertise and big data. However, steelmakers can still reliably derive their energy consumption values and successfully adapt their production schedules to energy availability.

Imagine a metals production plant where you can successfully predict your energy demand and adapt your production plans according to energy availability. To ensure grid stability requires proactive adaptation of the production from planning to execution, following signals from grid operators and from energy providers. This approach will further reduce energy costs and contribute in the transitioning to a pure renewable energy supply.

Steel plant’s operations are complex because all production steps are interdependent. This makes it challenging to simultaneously optimize production processes, save energy and comply with CO2 regulations while staying competitive with changing market demands. Steelmakers are investing in transformation to net-zero production, which needs to go hand-in-hand with process digitalization and innovating software systems for efficient production management of planning, scheduling and execution of processes.
