Optimal Operations Through Continuous Observation and Analysis

In a steel plant, a Monitor (or "Mon" for short) tracks a defined sequence of the production process, processes, and visualizes measurement data, and generates alarms and reports. Its primary role is to continuously observe and report on production processes to ensure optimal operations. Additionally, some Monitors assess plant equipment conditions, analyze data, and share analysis results.

How does a Monitor or “Mon” work?

A Monitor automatically detects key production steps and critical equipment or process conditions. Utilizing advanced technologies, such as image recognition, helps engineers optimize operations, reduce maintenance efforts, and accurately predict asset lifespan.

What makes a Monitor/Mon from Primetals Technologies unique?

A Monitor combines mechatronics, process, and software expertise, and speaks the language of operators and maintenance engineers.
