Raw material management software
qontrol maps
With qontrol maps, you gain transparency, control, and optimized performance in one integrated tool.
qontrol maps is an advanced raw material management and optimization system for meltshops. It connects real-time scrap characterization, charge and alloy optimization, and campaign planning to help you make better decisions at every step of steel production.
The system considers process constraints, raw material properties, energy costs, and metallurgical reactions to generate ideal charge mixes and production sequences. It helps reduce cost, energy use, and CO₂ emissions across the full value chain.
Level 2 software system for steel plants
qontrol steelmaking
qontrol steelmaking gives you the tools to unlock the full potential of controlling and optimizing your steelmaking processes.
It is a modular Level 2 software platform that delivers real-time control, optimization, and full transparency across the entire steelmaking process.
