Smart Manufacturing for Steel Production

All walks of life are actively deploying intelligent manufacturing, trying to keep themselves from falling behind technological innovation and the development of the times. And we, the steel industry, are no exception.

 

Smart manufacturing not only refers to having an intelligent factory, but also refers to a revolutionary change in the way of using raw materials, manufacturing and selling products in the entire supply chain, whether from a horizontal or vertical perspective - focusing on customer needs .

 

1.In terms of product quality system, the computer-aided quality control system is used to conduct 100% testing, inspection and warehouse data management of hot rolled steel coils to reduce the additional cost of claims and potential quality problems.

 

2.Rerouting and intelligently upgrading steel coils on the product line to better meet the user's order requirements, reduce returns and optimize yield.

 

3.In the rolling and finishing lines, the process parameters are understood by artificial intelligence for real-time dynamic production line planning and adjustment.

 

Embracing this new change requires the steel industry to have a keen understanding of customer dynamics and the expertise needed to execute Industry 4.0 strategies. This new change will also drive the shift in human skill requirements from production lines to more specialized fields, and digitalization will greatly improve production efficiency.

 

ASME SA709 Grade 50 is a product produced after we have improved our production technology.
