DIGI&MET

Everybody knows today that the implementation of a modern MES system is mandatory for an integrated plant.

The combination of the Smart Approach with the functionalities of Q3MET can do even more:

1) -90.000 t/y Overflow Material

2) +6% Material Yield

3) -1 Day Produced-to-Shipment Lead Time

And the added value can become even more significant, when this approach is applied to the manufacturing of special steel.

Look to EAF scenario! One of the most energy-consuming sources within steelmaking industry! The application of the smart approach gave the opportunity in selecting easily and quickly the best practice. On these basis one of the most performing DANIELI EAF reduced the specific energy consumption of 25Kwh-ton with -1’ PON and -2.4’ TtT with an overall increase of productivity of 8 t/h.

As everyone knows, temperature is important in the steelmaking process! a) For cost reason b) For technology reason and many more By means of the smart approach, used within the technology of a dedicated device, the prediction accuracy is today 5C° compared with a modern measurement system.

Prediction is a magic word who everybody is looking in order to reduce risk and time! Thanks to the smart approach implemented in a Coil Quality Estimator (Q-CQE) predicting mechanical properties such us Yield Strength, Tensile Strength and elongation, we got

• a) -25 % Tested sample
• b) 97.5 % Prediction in range
• c) +5,6% Prime material
