Steelmaking involves many manufacturing techniques which are time-consuming and complex. Apart from primary production processes, there are many sub-processes where the intermediate products are reheated, solidified, or pressed into various forms, like pipes, sheets, bars, rods, and different structural shapes based on the requirement.
The primary steel manufacturing process is continuous and process-based, whereas the secondary manufacturing phases are discrete.
In addition to the inherent complexity of steel manufacturing, steel plants encounter various on-ground challenges in maintaining operational efficiency:
- Older & legacy machinery
- Frequent halts in production due to machine failure & downtime
- Expensive coal & raw materials
- Avoiding unexpected accidents on site
- Aging workforce
Unplanned downtimes can put the whole process on a stop, affect quality and production, and endanger the health and safety of workers on site. Infinite Uptime with its Online condition monitoring and Predictive Analysis has added immense value to the steel industry by not only improving productivity in the plant but also by making operations more reliable and safer.
