[Ferro-Alloys.com]Working alongside Sunflag Iron and Steel Company Ltd in Bhandara in India, global technology company ABB has achieved successful integration of its ABB Ability Data Analytics Platform for metals, tying together all manufacturing and operational data of steel melt shop and rolling mills to improve production planning and plant performance optimization. The plant, which has a capacity to produce 500,000 tonnes of high quality special steel per annum, now has the platform to integrate data sources across 17 operational areas, including non-ABB systems. A key example is that information technology and operational technology has converged to positively impact Sunflag’s steel melt shop and rolling mills.
ABB integrated with the existing automation systems for process and quality monitoring in real time, aligning with user-friendly operator dashboards available via a web page on mobile. The platform enables identification and diagnosis of issues or use of extra resources.
The project has been part of a wider digital transformation engagement with the customer, with ABB providing domain expertise for systems that improve overall process visibility to enable data driven business decision making.
