Abstract
The utilization of production facilities in an optimum way, with reliable due date fulfillment, reducing raw material and energy consumption, in a continuous high quality production, are challenges that iron and steel company are facing in their business every day. By applying APS, such goals can be achieved to increase the competiveness of iron and steel producers. A sophisticated APS provides fast decisions to match the company specific KPIs (Key-Performance-Indicators) considering complex rules like product and order mix, production routings, processing and transport times, availability of important production resources, specific technological, steel grade and energy related constraints etc. The APS solution presented in this work - following the latest Industry standards in ISA 95 - is used to optimize single processes or even complex integrated plants from iron & steel making via hot to cold rolling and processing. This article describes APS systems in general and a case covering the processes from Blast Furnace to Slab Casting.
