Steelmaking involves many manufacturing techniques which are time-consuming and complex. Apart from primary production processes, there are many sub-processes where the intermediate products are reheated, solidified, or pressed into various forms, like pipes, sheets, bars, rods, and different structural shapes based on the requirement. The primary steel manufacturing process is continuous and process-based, whereas the secondary manufacturing phases are discrete. What complicates it further is the fact that:
  • Production process parameters from the upstream steel manufacturing processes strongly influence the downstream ones.
  • The intermediate products in the process undergo both chemical and mechanical changes, making monitoring quality and output more difficult.
While steel manufacturing is already a complex process, steel plants may also face many on-ground challenges in maintaining efficiency, such as:
  • Older & legacy machinery
  • Frequent halts in production due to machine failure & downtime
  • Expensive coal & raw materials
  • Avoiding unexpected accidents on site
  • Various external factors like lockouts, strikes, inefficient administration, and shortage of raw materials
Due to these challenges, steel plants face constant pressure to produce high-quality products in less time without any unexpected production halts. Unplanned downtimes can put the whole process on a stop, affect quality and production, and endanger the health and safety of workers on site. Online condition monitoring and predictive analysis is a value-added tool for the steel industry. It not only improves productivity in the plant but also makes operations more reliable and safer.

The rising demand and growth potential for the Steel industry depends on high quality products manufactured under a digitally controlled environment. With less-than-optimal steel plant maintenance strategies, production becomes susceptible to sudden machine failures, unavailability of critical assets, and unplanned production downtime.
Inefficient production process is not only detrimental for the bottom-line of steel manufacturers, it also serves as the root cause of unsafe work conditions.
With Predictive Maintenance and Digital Reliability Solutions, steel plant downtime can be minimized and plant reliability objectives can be sustainably achieved.
