Efficient Heat Scheduling Combined with Energy Management in a Hybrid Steel Plant

26 Jun 2023, Energy, Sustainability, Technology

METEC is the world’s leading event for metallurgical technology. Held every four years, this year’s METEC, the 11th International Metallurgical Trade Fair, saw about 18,000 experts and key decision makers visiting the event. With exhibitors and visitors from various sectors in the industry, the recurring topics of discussions were unsurprisingly green steel and artificial intelligence.

AISTECH in the US and Future Aluminum Forum

A Peek Into the North American Steel and Aluminum Industries

25 May 2023, Sustainability, Technology, Production

In recent years, metals producers are actively working towards decarbonizing the industry. This has led to breakthroughs in the use of hydrogen, renewable energy and digital transformation in producing green steel.This brings about numerous questions like, how can green steel and aluminum produced in the US be protected against imported ones with high CO2 footprint? How can producers leverage renewable energy for cheaper and optimized production? Furthermore, how can aluminum producers achieve the net zero target? These are some of the issues discussed at AISTECH in the US and Future Aluminum Forum, Canada in May 2023.

Maximize Efficiency and Reliably Adapt Metals Production Schedules to Energy Availability (Part 2)

06 Jan 2023, Energy, Production

Government regulations and sustainability measures impose cost pressure on steelmakers but also drives the trend towards more efficient energy consumption. When it comes to efficiently managing energy consumption and scheduling production, steel producers face enormous challenges due to their complexity, requiring high level of expertise and big data. However, steelmakers can still reliably derive their energy consumption values and successfully adapt their production schedules to energy availability.

Maximizing Efficiency: How to Align Your Metals Production With Energy Consumption Forecast (Part 1)

09 Dec 2022, Energy, Production

Imagine a metals production plant where you can successfully predict your energy demand and adapt your production plans according to energy availability. To ensure grid stability requires proactive adaptation of the production from planning to execution, following signals from grid operators and from energy providers. This approach will further reduce energy costs and contribute in the transitioning to a pure renewable energy supply.

The Root of Sustainable Metals Production - 7 Ways to Go Green and Improve Operational Efficiency

19 Aug 2021, Energy, Industry 4.0, Production, Sustainability, Technology

When it comes to sustainable metal production, the question often arises as to whether manufacturers should invest on becoming more "green" or on improving their operational efficiency which are both the root of sustainable metals production. Sounds like a dilemma, but it is not! Discover 7 ways in which even small, but forward-thinking investments in planning and scheduling solutions can result in significant environmental improvements that go hand-in-hand with greater plant efficiency.
