Highlights
PSImetals Process Value Archiving Management
Process data measured by the automation layer is reported to the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for real-time monitoring and archiving. This supports detailed tracking of energy and resource consumption, which is crucial for energy management and CO₂ emission calculations. Dashboards and performance reports use historical data for comprehensive evaluations.
Quality Process with PCF Tracking
PSImetals Quality provides an ideal framework for "cradle to gate" Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) tracking based on process snapshots for calculation of emissions of scopes 1, 2, and 3. It uses hierarchical Green House Gas (GHG) emission factors across production areas, lines, and steps, enabling real-time CO₂ emissions calculation and tracking at the piece and product level. CO₂ emissions data are stored as additional "Quality Indication KPIs".
Charge and Alloying Model (ACM)
Using the specific meltdown energy and CO₂ footprint of raw materials, the heat’s total energy costs and carbon footprint can be calculated and minimized with an enhanced Charge and Alloying Model (ACM). The model is a component of PSImetals Production (Liquid) and supports optimized scrap and alloy procurement based on long-term heat planning.
Production Planning and Scheduling
Raw materials and energy demands, along with resulting CO₂ emissions, are key parameters in rule-based Production Order elaboration (Order Dressing). This enables forecasting green KPIs like total energy consumption and CO₂ emissions, balancing them with productivity, quality, and cost targets for optimized production planning and execution. It also aligns energy demands with availabilities and supports the optimization of energy procurement, including day-ahead and intraday trading.
