Ensuring production quality at shop floor.

Ensuring constant, reliable material quality throughout the entire production process and delivering products on schedule are important criteria when it comes to surviving in the market.

Be it feedstock quality, constant quality during the ongoing process or routine material handling and correct execution of the individual process steps in the plant/ at shop floor level – PSImetals Production & PSImetals Quality continuously capture, control and monitor all production and quality data and processes in metal production. Pre-defined key performance indicators (KPIs) – optionally as realtime information or as a trend – enable the online evaluation of current and future production situations.

Why PSImetals?
 

"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."

"With this system's quality planning and comparison mechanism base on configurable rules, we can define flexible rules according to changing market requirements, thus significantly reduce operators’ workload, speed up the process and ensure the accuracy against manual operation at the same time."

"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."

"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."

"Attaching great importance to quality aspects in production is a main competitive advantage of our company. We selected PSI and PSImetals to standardize the production of each steel grade and to ensure quality by higher automated processes. We have been convinced by PSI’s strong experience in the area of ensuring quality in steel making and their PSImetals solution as well as highly pleased customers."
