Software Engineering | Conceptual Software Design for Steelmaking

Together with our customer from the stainless steel industry, we set new standards for the digital transformation of steel production. Our step-by-step procedure included an assessment of the current automation status, the elaboration of a vision and the development of solutions.

The developed solution is a data-centered manufacturing information system that manages the metallurgical processes while also providing real-time information that enables continuous improvement of the processes along the value chain (from the scrap yard to the release of the produced products).

Consulting | Project Management and Consulting Services

We provide specific consulting services for production and process optimization for a global player in the cement and minerals industry. In addition, we work together to develop concepts that enable new business opportunities in this very conventional industry in times of digital transformation.

Consulting | Requirement Engineering and Specification

In the metals industry, brown-field projects (the replacement of existing production systems) are often one the most complex projects, as ongoing production processes must be continuously supported during the software upgrade. Therefore, the fact that we are able to support a global plant supplier by applying our expertise to two projects with major steel producers confirms our approach. Together with the end customers, one operating an oxygen steel plant and the other operating an electric arc furnace, we assessed the current status and developed solutions to transition smoothly to a new process control software system.

Consulting | Software Engineering and Metallurgical Consulting

In this project, we are using our software engineering services to support a global plant supplier in the conception of a new software system for a new steel mill for the production of stainless and special steels, as well as special alloys. Due to the complex metallurgical requirements with new process routes, our metallurgical expertise is highly valued in this project.
