The Digital Twin in Continuous Casting — A New Dimension in Automation Technology (Room 316)

A digital twin, which is an intelligent digital representation of a physical plant, product or process, allows metallurgists and process engineers to predict the behavior of the involved complex systems and optimize parameters before using them in real production. Digital twins offer numerous benefits by modeling, simulating and replaying of the casting process, which leads to a new dimension in product quality and reduced production costs. This paper describes the setup and simulation possibilities that accompany a digital twin of a continuous casting process. Success stories achieved with the digital twin at various steel producers complete this paper.
