Decarbonization & Energy Services
The complexity of metals production makes it challenging to optimize production, save energy and comply with CO2 regulations. Currently, metals production is undergoing transformation towards green metals production. Hence, transformation to net-zero production needs to go hand-in-hand with process digitalization and innovative software for efficient production management of planning, scheduling and execution of processes.
Features
-
Test Management and Quality Control PSImetals Quality defines tests, inspections, and sampling, creating configurable inspection plans and evaluating quality results. It assigns defects and holds to materials, enabling thorough evaluation of work in progress and final products, which supports release and certification. The cases of nonconformities, it plans reworks and reactive actions that can be smoothly executed thanks to seamless integration with PSImetals Production.
-
Advanced Quality Evaluation & Analytics Digitalizing the manufacturing process generates high-resolution data requiring a valuable structure. Quality Process Snapshot collects and visualizes data for single material units along the production route and genealogy. Quality Indicators extract key figures for quality control, while Embedded Business Intelligence dashboards analyze production, calculate KPIs, and identify priority weaknesses.
-
Statistical Process Control (SPC) SPC uses statistical methods to monitor production processes. Control charts define and evaluate key variables, aiming to identify long-term trends that exceed equipment automation targets. Initially based on historical data, these charts are validated and activated for ongoing monitoring, with rule violations trigger notifications to responsible personnel.
-
Order Dressing PSImetals Order Dressing combines product configuration with a rule-based engine to dynamically generate Production Orders from purchase orders, including first-time orders. Production Orders cover production routes, material demand, quality targets, and test instructions, serving as primary input for L2 automation and effort calculation. It also performs feasibility checks, order combination, and variant elaboration for enhanced planning flexibility.
