In order to support hot rolling mill managers in improving the utilization of their plants, SMS group offers well-defined performance modules. These are technologies, components, automation solutions or services which can be implemented in existing plants to increase competitiveness in categories of efficiency, productivity, qualit,y and process and product control referred to as “Industry 4.0.” Except the modules dedicated to the last category, targeting overall process controls, performance modules are characterized by quantifiable benefits. Performance modules related to hot rolling mills are, e.g., camber-free rolling, modular laminar strip cooling system, new edge masking and intelligent components.
