Owing to the growing pressure of competition, optimized plant operation is becoming an increasingly greater area of priority for plant owners. The Integrated Monitoring System from SMS Siemag allows a complete view of the overall plant operation. The modules presented here for the monitoring of: 1) product quality, 2) energy efficiency, 3) plant condition, provide the plant owner with tools for improving the product quality and thus for operating the plant with high availability and in the most energy-efficient manner possible. The Quality Monitoring module allows monitoring of product quality in a manner covering all process stages, furnishes a comparison with the customer's requirements and, with the aid of a quality database, allows long- term storage and analysis of the data. With the aid of the X-Pact Energy Advisor, plant operation can be optimized from the point of view of energy-efficient plant operation. The X-Pact Plant Condition Advisor contains specific functions for metallurgical plants, continuous casters, rolling mills and strip processing lines, as well as prefabricated intelligent modules for component monitoring. This helps with the performance of preventive maintenance. Furthermore, maintenance costs are saved and the intelligent stocking of spare parts is optimized. In addition, the X-Pact Plant Condition Advisor supports troubleshooting and thus makes possible an improved plant availability. The combination of the three modules allows optimized operation of the integrated plant and therefore contributes decisively to cost reduction and quality enhancement.
