Production management system for ThyssenKrupp Stainless, USA

Sep 2, 2008

ThyssenKrupp Stainless USA has placed an order with PSI BT for the delivery and implementation of a production management system PSImetals for the stainless steel plant being built in Alabama, USA. The new plant will consist of, amongst other things, an electro-steel mill and cold rolling mill including the finishing line for the production of high-quality stainless steels. In the future, it is intended that PSImetals, serving as the comprehensive system, will optimise the production processes in the steel mill and cold rolling mill.

The initial phase of the solution consists of the functional segments Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) und Advanced Line Sequencing (ALS). "With the introduction of PSImetals at the Alabama site, ThyssenKrupp Stainless is continuing the proven IT strategy", explains Klemens Bransm�ller, CIO ThyssenKrupp Stainless and ThyssenKrupp Nirosta in Germany. "PSI solutions have been running successfully for more than five years at the steel and cold rolling mills in our German plants."
