The whole life cycle of “soft and hard” continues to inject smart green vitality into the steel industry

As a global expert in digital transformation in the field of energy management and automation, Schneider Electric is committed to promoting safe, green, transparent and efficient value delivery based on its own practice, aiming to continuously empower digital transformation in various industries. Based on many years of technical accumulation and practical experience in the steel industry, Schneider Electric will use digital solutions covering asset management, energy management, intelligent logistics, integrated control and digital material yard throughout the entire life cycle of the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the steel industry, to help improve its automation control, efficient operation, safety and reliability, energy saving and carbon reduction capabilities.

Based on the EcoStruxure architecture and platform, Schneider Electric EcoStruxure factory solutions will accelerate the green and intelligent transformation of the steel industry through IT/OT integration from the three aspects of interconnected products, edge control, application, analysis and service:

In terms of automation control systems, Schneider Electric uses industrial iot boxes and industrial PCS, programmable automation controllers Modicon M580, control experts, SCADA systems and other edge control layer core products, combined with inverter, modular low-voltage inverter, medium voltage system frequency conversion and other interconnected products. It can help steel enterprises to build automatic control systems for the whole life cycle.

In terms of automation upgrade services, based on leading digital technology and professional industrial hardware and software products, Schneider Electric’s professional service team can provide automatic upgrade services covering the full life cycle of early upgrade consulting, to landing and execution, and then to post-operation and maintenance.

In terms of digital intelligence, Schneider Electric provides “end-to-end” green intelligent manufacturing solutions from group control to production site, from planning to landing, covering the two major directions of promoting the digital transformation of “intelligent transformation” and promoting the sustainable development of “dual carbon landing”, building a professional digital architecture for steel enterprises. Including from digital transformation planning consulting and sustainable development consulting “double engine”, to AVEVA APC advanced process control system, IACS unmanned vehicle system, predictive maintenance system and other digital optimization and AVEVA UOC integrated operation center, and then to industrial PLC and other control layer, to help customers achieve unmanned, intelligent operation. Increase return on investment by ensuring safe operation and reducing energy consumption.

Schneider Electric’s digital solutions for the steel industry, based on the “soft and hard” of the whole life cycle, have served many steel enterprises to achieve green intelligent transformation. Among them, around Liugang Group’s “One body, two wings, multi-base” pattern construction project, Schneider Electric through the deployment of AVEVA system platform, AVEVA InTouch HMI human-machine interface, Modicon series PLC and inverter digital solutions, It has helped Liugang Group achieve standardization and visualization of operation in many projects and process segments such as raw material plant, sintering, pelletizing and coking, and improved operational efficiency. In addition, taking “unmanned vehicle” as an example, since 2016, Schneider Electric and Baosteel have carried out all-round cooperation, and the unmanned vehicle project of the hot rolling workshop jointly created by the two sides has successfully promoted the overall digital upgrade of the enterprise and the intelligent innovation of management, and also provided reference and reference for the comprehensive transformation of the steel industry; In terms of energy management, Schneider Electric has also customized energy management digital solutions for many customers, and successfully managed energy costs by measuring, controlling and optimizing all energy media in steel enterprises. In terms of asset management, Schneider Electric also partnered with a steel power plant on the gas pressurization station APC project, which effectively improved the reliability and performance of the company’s equipment assets, minimizing unplanned downtime while maximizing return on investment.

Based on the “double carbon” goal, green and low-carbon has become the only way for the steel industry, one of the energy-intensive industries, and it is also a strong guarantee for steel enterprises to improve their business resilience and sustainable development ability and cope with many uncertainties in the future. Based on the deep understanding of the steel industry and the practical experience of digital transformation accumulated over the years, Schneider Electric will promote the development of green steel by relying on consulting services from top-level planning to landing, as well as comprehensive hardware and software products and digital technology, and join hands with partners to participate in the construction of green ecological circle of the steel industry, and jointly promote the high-quality development of the industry.
