Who we are.

The PSI Metals Group combines the metals expertise within the PSI AG, represented by the three companies of AIS, 4Production and PSI BT. Today we are the world's largest  provider for software solutions in production management for the metals industry. Customer relationships established over the course of decades and a host of projects have contributed to our staff's outstanding technological expertise in metals.

International business.
We are involved when our customers produce at various international sites.

The headquarter of the PSI Metals Group is based in Düsseldorf and has five further locations within Europe (Berlin, Brussels, Leoben, Linz, Würselen). The important Chinese steel market is served by an own local subsidiary. PSI China  operates from the two locations Shanghai and Peking. The CIS (Russia, Ukraine, ...) market is mainly served by our office in Yekaterinburg and supported by a further local representative in Moscow. In the USA, in India, in Argentina and in Brazil we are also presented by local representatives.

Why PSImetals?
 

"This project will allow us to handle larger volumes of slabs with less manual workload and higher quality on the existing slab yard areas. We are convinced that it will succeed and that we can reduce the number of employees and still be better and handle larger volumes. We seek to achieve more efficient usage of our limited space for slabs and minimize crane/slabs movement."

"The decision in favour of PSImetals as steel mill control system completes our overall IT design for production at the Peine site, because we already plan both of the rolling mills with PSImetals. In the future we will have a cross-system planning and production control system with uniform data and be able to employ a greater degree of automation. The higher degree of configurability was also important for our users in the steel plant. Whether in the daily operations, the introduction of new qualities of steel, modifications in manufacturing processes or the integration of new aggregates – all the necessary changes can be made independently by us with the configuration."

"The use of PSI planning modules gave us not just high flexibility and transparency of all works areas over many years, but also generated competitive advantages for us thanks to a harmonized IT system landscape and planning philosophy."

"80% of all coils are now arranged in an order-related manner. And with time, this will improve and work even more smoothly."

"PSI has now shown us at Isbergues that my colleagues’ long years of positive experience with PSI at the Gelsenkirchen site were justified. The old system was successfully replaced and the ramp-up occurred without incidents. The first strips were cut and packed just a few hours after the conversion of the system. The process was tracked completely by means of PSImetals. We are looking forward to phase 2, i.e. the introduction of the rolling mill and the tempering with great confidence."

"The introduction of PSImetals at all factories creates a company-wide transparenca which supports a department spanning and cooperative approach to planning tasks."

"With the introduction of PSImetals at the Alabama site, ThyssenKrupp Stainless is continuing the proven IT strategy. PSI solutions have been running successfully for more than five years at the steel and cold rolling mills in our German plants. The PSImetals roll-out for the Shanghai Krupp Stainless cold rolling mill in China reinforces the decision to introduce the solution at ThyssenKrupp Stainless USA as well."
