Three major requirements in steel productionshall be supported by digitalization


• Outstanding quality• Reproducible results• Seamlessly documented

• Flexibility to customer requests- Flexible product specification- Shorter delivery times

• Flexible in used raw materials• Flexible in optimization criteria

- Production- Energy consumption- Equipment lifetime

• Throughput• Yield• Plant availability• Operational costs• Maintenance costs


A digitalized plant is like an orchestra –The Metals Orchestra



Metals OrchestraTeach your players to play better



Metals OrchestraThe Primetals Technologies portfolio


Know more – improve your processes More focus on the essentials Your plant and its digital twin

Smart sensors provide additional informationabout the process or the entire plant.

Smart sensors either directly measure physicalvalues or use existing measures to indirectlycalculate additional information.

Smart sensors are the enablers for theimplementation of advanced automatic functions,process models, as well as condition monitoring.

Repetitive, labour-intensive and dangerouswork is supported by fully-automatedmechatronics solutions.

This gives more room to focus onthe essential tasks.

Process models, digital “twins” of the plant,enable process optimization in real-time aswill as offline simulation.

This means perfect process guidance andfull support for further process development.

Example:Camera-based slag detection and free-boardmeasurement for converter tapping

Example:Automated converter tapping incl.the positioning of the ladle transfer carand alloy charging

Example:Blow-end calculation


Metals OrchestraThe Primetals Technologies portfolio


Knowing how your plant “feels” Get connected – anytime – anywhere All the necessary information –when and where you need it

Comprehensive information about the conditionof the equipment an the respective processesenables predictive maintenance, which will helpto avoid unplanned outages.

This means improved plant availability andtherefore increased plant productivity.

Advanced communication technologiesallow for information to be transportedbeyond conventional limitations.

From the collection of sensor data in harshenvironments or from mobile equipment todisplaying the information on mobile devices.

From the shop floor to the „manager‘s pocket“

To ensure best possible operation andmaintenance of a plant, a vast variety ofinformation sources is required.The core concept of “smart work” is that allpersonnel will automatically receiveexactly the information they need at thetime to get their job done. This means thatall information is automatically tailored tothe actual needs of the staff.

Example:Converter tilting-drive monitoring,LTC drive-train and railway condition monitoring

Example:Wireless data transmission from theladle transfer car,KPI dashboards for mobile devices

Example:Online-documentation retrieved viaQR-coded equipment,augmented reality applications to guidemaintenance work

Production Management SystemA comprehensive approach


PRODUCTION EXECUTIONRealtime information about the

production processTransparency across the whole

process chainLogistics

PRODUCT DEFINITION,ORDER DRESSERTransformation of sales orders to

process and quality instructionsCentralized processknowledge base

ORDER & LINE SCHEDULINGCross-plant scheduling of the

order bookThroughput optimization

PLANNINGHolistic planningfrom melt shop to shipping,from demand planning to

material planning

Benefits• Increased utilization of production facilities• Higher productivity with increased flexibility and better quality• Reduced inventory


Production Management SystemOrder dresser


State-of-the-art technology

• Comprehensive translation of sales orders toproduction orders including routings and processinstructions considering production capabilities,technological rules, standards and quality directives.

• Creating test and sample instructions along theproduction route.

• Calculating material demand for each productionstep

• Considering cost and time models

• Easy system integration with ERP including certifiedSAP I/F

• Modern GUI for easy data administrationThrough Process Know How

Benefits• One central knowledge base with all production related data to determine how to

produce products from casting to finishing lines. - Fewer systems to maintain• Integrated with planning, scheduling, production and quality. - No complicated and

expensive interfaces


Production Management SystemPlanning and Scheduling


State-of-the-art technology

• State-of-the-art technology• Holistic planning – from melt shop to shipping and from

demand planning to detailed scheduling• Streamlined and consistent decision making across

sales,planning and production processes

• Maximizing throughput, quality and service level• Minimizing costs, energy consumption, stock levels and

lead times• User-friendly, fast and adaptable schedules and plans• Planning evaluation based on KPIs and scenarios

comparison• Central repository of planning rules and priorities

Benefits• Highly specialized optimization models for metals specific production technologies like casting,

rolling, hot charging, etc.• KPI-driven Planning: Plan and schedule calculation can be adapted to specific and dynamic

business goals• Supports multiple demand fulfilment models: make-to-order, make-to-stock, …• Highly adaptable user interfaces optimized for planner's daily tasks


Production Management SystemProduction Execution


Material and Stock Management

• Administration of all material types• Goods receipt, movement tracking and goods issue on material

and batch level• Management of scrap yards, bunkers, small part areas, semi

finished products and equipment

Schedule Execution

• Fast reaction to production issues bymodifying released line schedules

• Management of line schedule states

Production Order Lifecycle

• Managing production orders during theirlifetime

• Status Management

Production Tracking

• Tracking of material flow• Registration of all production data in the different facilities• Basis for reporting and quality control

Corrective and Compensational Actions

• Corrective Action: Set of actions for resolving the cause of the problem.

• Compensational Action: Set of actions compensating the nonconformities.
