Detailed and Precise Guidance Throughout the Steel Production Process with the Entire Steelmaking Process Assistant

The Steelmaking Process Assistant is an innovative digital assistant designed to enhance the efficiency and quality of steel production. In the competitive steel industry, achieving high product quality, optimizing production efficiency, and securing production know-how are critical challenges. The Steelmaking Process Assistant addresses these challenges by increasing operational efficiency and production quality while reducing production errors and communication gaps. This is achieved through online guidance and support, digitalization of process know-how, and an integrated feedback system, making it an invaluable tool for operators, metallurgists, and production managers.

The digital Steelmaking Process Assistant meets the demands of steel producers by providing detailed and precise guidance throughout the steel production process, thereby reducing production errors across all shifts. It simplifies the complexity of implementing production rules and models for metallurgists, thereby enhancing production quality through the standardization of processes and digitalization of metallurgical know-how. The system increases operational efficiency with automated guidance and support across all production units. It also facilitates continuous improvement by enabling close exchange and feedback between operators and metallurgists, ensuring high product quality and production efficiency. Additionally, the digital Steelmaking Process Assistant provides experienced operators' knowledge to new personnel, securing production know-how for future generations.
