"Severstal Russian steel" together with specialists "Severstal digital"
developed a tool that selects alternative chemical composition
of metal and check its compliance with the standards. Expected,
what is the application of technological solutions will increase the number of incoming orders and
the quality of their performance.
a Tool of unification of the chemical composition (UHS sales) allows you to work with so
called nemontemi orders. They characterize the situation when the client
need metal in smaller amounts than the minimum investment at Cherepovets.
metallurgical plant (CHerMK, is included in division "Severstal Russian
steel"). To carry out such order, the company will need to produce
the minimum possible amount, and the excess to leave the warehouse. The metal,
with a special chemical composition, may not be needed by other clients
to get a write-off and go to the smelter.
UHS sales Tool designed to reduce the number of such situations due to selection
alternative manufacturing techniques. It depends on internal chemical
composition and modes of production. In other words, the new it solution implements
the possibility of obtaining the desired mechanical properties products made of metal
of different chemical composition.
At the heart of the instrument UHS sales are a machine learning model. They predict
the mechanical properties of the metal with a specific chemical composition: relate
mechanical properties from the standard single product with the desired properties.
the other, fill in the missing information about expected values. At the same time,
a machine learning model combined with algorithms that take into account the logic of
production processes.
Using the UHS sales, specialists can choose the best for the production of
the chemical composition and to ensure that the selected modes will be rolling
the necessary properties for each product. Due to this, the tool
will allow you to combine different LaMontagne orders so that their volume is passed through
the minimum tonnage. In addition, the program is able to choose
for extra of suitable slabs need rolling modes for use in other
orders. In the result, Severstal will make more orders in the production,
including non-standard and not to lower margin products, sending
it to the smelter.
"Severstal" aims to offer the customer products, the maximum
satisfy his requirements and standards. Tool for the unification of chemical
composition accelerates the process of making decisions about the issuance of orders to production
allows you to take non-standard amounts that meets the needs of our
partners. At the same time, the focuses of our company are reducing
the costs and flexibility of production processes. Using the tool
UHS sales we can optimize the current orders quickly to combine them and
reduce the amount of scrapped metal at the warehouse. Expect this system
will help in particular to reduce the production cost of the metal,"
commented the Director for technical development and quality Severstal Peter
Mishnev.
