Plant Automation Upgrades, Sensors & Controls
It has been proven that automation solutions improve productivity, safety and availability of a steel plant. Primetals Technologies together with its partners is now taking the next step: The fully automated Mini Mill.
From the automated scrap yard to several EAF charging solutions, the first process steps are already partly implemented. With modern measuring devices, the melting process is fully automated.
Equipment supervision and process models allow prediction of possible failures of critical plant components and lead to a reliable preventive maintenance system.
The combination of these technologies brings us closer to our vision of a fully automated mini mill.
