VirtuoTM Scheduling addresses common production issues of strip processing lines. It can be integrated with the plant’s existing production management system to optimize it and provide reliable product release dates.
A POWERFUL PLANNING SYSTEM
Today, production management is a complex task for steelmakers. Many rules and constraints make manual scheduling difficult, leading to inconsistencies and inaccurate decisions.
Virtuo™ Scheduling addresses these challenges by finding the most efficient schedule from the upcoming production plan. It optimizes coil sequences and process transitions to ensure efficiency, consistency and minimize the risk of process changes. Its advanced features help deliver final products with the right specifications, quality aspects and mechanical properties on time.
ENHANCED PRODUCTIVITY & QUALITY
Virtuo™ Scheduling first imports an existing coil schedule and selects relevant parameters and constraints based on it. It then defines a production strategy by converting these parameters into a mathematical function. Finally, it optimizes coil delivery by prioritizing constraints that influence the coil order.
- Decreased downtime
- Reliable production schedule
- Fast production order process
- Minimized product downgrades
- Reduced human errors
