In the face of the future development direction of automation, unmanned, intelligent and low-carbon metallurgical industry, Schneider Electric relies on EcoStruxureTM architecture and platform, integrates cutting-edge digital intelligent technology, advanced automation control system, and full life cycle service to create full-scene solutions. Help metallurgical enterprises significantly improve automation control, efficient operation, safety and reliability, energy saving and carbon reduction capabilities, and escort the green and intelligent transformation:
Digital intelligent technology: By accelerating the integration of IT and OT, and comprehensively innovating at the three levels of interconnected products, edge control, application, analysis and service, Schneider Electric can provide users with complete solutions covering digital material yard, intelligent logistics, integrated control, energy management, asset management and other aspects, and realize unmanned and intelligent operation in a way that is more suitable for actual scenarios. Maximize safe operation, reduce energy consumption, and increase return on investment.
Automation systems: Based on deep automation experience, Schneider Electric has a complete set of leading products including Modicon M580 PLC control system, ATV1200C series medium voltage inverter, Royal series low voltage inverter, EcoStruxure Triconex safety instrument system. Among them, the classic Modicon M580 is completely based on industrial Ethernet to achieve connectivity and communication, with advanced components, flexible architecture and excellent performance, which can make the production process more flexible, transparent and safe, combined with the software platform, and can also integrate process management and energy management, so that users can understand the energy data in real time, improve the efficiency of factory operations. Improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption; In addition, the EcoStruxure Triconex safety instrumentation system, which complies with IEC 61508 and is certified by German TUV and ISASecure® Embedded Device Security Assurance (EDSA) Level 1, meets the stringent requirements of the metallurgical industry for functional safety, information security, risk reduction and continuous operation. To create greater benefits while protecting customer assets, people and the environment.
Full life cycle service: Combined with comprehensive industrial software, strong technical capabilities and teams, and relying on professional services covering green intelligent manufacturing consulting, energy management consulting and sustainable development consulting, Schneider Electric can integrate digital transformation and low-carbon transformation into all aspects of consulting, planning and implementation. Provide consulting, transformation, upgrading, commissioning, training, acceptance and other life-cycle services for metallurgical enterprises, while improving digital and sustainable capabilities.
Up to now, Schneider Electric automation systems and digital intelligent products have been successfully deployed in more than 155 iron and steel enterprises in 511 iron and steel projects, 24 steel projects, comprehensive coverage of raw material field, sintering, pellet, coking, blast furnace, steel, power energy and other diverse scenarios, for customers efficient, safe and green production escort.
Practice first, achieve industry transformation demonstration
With the above advantages and all-round capabilities, Schneider Electric has helped many domestic steel enterprises to achieve green intelligent transformation and accumulated rich practical experience. Since 2016, Schneider Electric and Baosteel have carried out all-round cooperation, including unmanned vehicles in the hot rolling workshop, which has successfully promoted the overall digital upgrading of the enterprise and intelligent management innovation, and also provided many references for the comprehensive transformation of the steel industry. In addition, for an ironmaking centralized control system, Schneider Electric provides AVEVA system platform and AVEVA Intouch human-machine interface and other products to help customers effectively cope with the challenges of integrating massive data of ironmaking, steelmaking and active environmental protection in the centralized control system. Thus, the centralized management and operation of 258 automation systems, more than 330,000 monitoring points, 282 on-site operation stations, and 114 operation rooms throughout the plant can be realized.
In addition, for a hot rolled slab warehouse unmanned upgrade project, Schneider Electric provides solutions such as warehouse management system, driving automation system and ground system to help customers promote internal IoT integration, achieve efficient automatic operation of driving with advanced dynamic algorithms, and ensure the safety of personnel and facilities while achieving the linkage effect of ground equipment
