Workflow automation using smart materials

Smart Material and Work Flows at the Age of Industry 4.0

13 Apr 2023, Industry 4.0, Technology, Production

The Industry 4.0 paradigm shift in the late 2010s triggered smart automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies and processes. It brought about increased applications of Artificial Intelligence in the industrial sector. Steelmakers were impacted by this digital transformation leading to smart products, processes and supply chains. By optimizing data and leveraging information in real time, they had more efficient and faster decision-making. However, to capture these opportunities and manage smart material flows and sustainable ecosystems, a Production Management System (PMS) also needs an I4.0 upgrade.

For subsequent users to accept basic systems, the systems need to be made available quickly. This is the case in many IT systems that significantly impact corporate processes – including Depot Management Systems. Functional specifications can take many months to prepare and often are not widely understood. In many respects, a basic system can be the better way to go for system introduction in the long term.

Digitalization Enables Decarbonization of Steel Production

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 CO₂regulations 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.

Direct Rolling Scheduling – The Tight Rope Binding Casting and Rolling

28 Sep 2022, Production, Technology

Steel making process has truly evolved. Just like many technological advancements, the introduction of software into the steel making process has become the game changer. Direct Rolling Scheduling (DRS) is an innovative solution that resolves the scheduling complexities at the caster and rolling mill both for Endless Strip Production, Compact Strip Production and the traditional steel plant. It works like a charm.
