thyssenkrupp Steel And Smart Steel Technologies Launch Intelligent Scheduling System For High-Tech Production Network
thyssenkrupp Steel, in collaboration with Smart Steel Technologies, is taking a major step toward the future of steel production with the successful launch of an intelligent scheduling system for its extensively modernized production network in Duisburg - Bruckhausen. The new system ensures highly efficient processes to provide high-quality products to customers.
The new software solution now automatically schedules one of the most advanced plant networks in the European steel industry. This network includes the new Continuous Casting Line No. 4, the completely modernized Hot Strip Mill No. 4, and the slab storage facility. The system is automated, intelligent, and features fast reactive scheduling. This lifts the level of production planning automation at thyssenkrupp Steel to a new level. The SST Scheduling System was developed and tested in close collaboration before being used in production.
"A strong impetus for the digital future of the steel industry," concluded Stefan Kemmer and Christian Lang, Project Management at thyssenkrupp Steel, along with Dr. Falk-Florian Henrich, Founder and CEO of Smart Steel Technologies. Smart Steel Technologies will also handle the future maintenance and further development of the system.
