NLMK Group, an international metallurgical company, won the Rusbase Digital Awards 2021 in the Production category. The prizes are awarded to companies for digital solutions aimed at improving business efficiency through innovative technologies. NLMK Group has nominated the Gefest solution for building optimal intrashop logistics for steelmaking.
The Gefest service operates in one of the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant's steel shops. It allows you to systematically plan the movement of ladles with molten metal in the shop in order to prevent excessive cooling of the metal and the associated additional costs when fulfilling the production plan.
A digital solution based on mathematical models generates a schedule of equipment operation taking into account the current volume of orders, and the mnemonic diagram - an interactive map of the shop - using machine vision allows you to determine in real time the location of technological transport and, if necessary, rebuild the operational work plan. The implementation of the service saves up to RUB 100 million per year.
NLMK Group's digital transformation program involves dozens of cross-functional teams that develop, implement and improve hundreds of digital solutions. The company has created a digital ecosystem that ensures effective teamwork, the sustainability of products created, the accumulation of knowledge and an environment for interaction with more than 30 partner companies, including through the creation of their own platforms for collaborative development and machine learning.
