Definitions
- the invention relates to a system for optimizing several at least partially linked production systems and / or processes of a metallurgical system, in particular over the entire service life and / or the entire metallurgical process chain.
- the invention also relates to a method for optimizing several at least partially linked production plants and / or processes of a metallurgical plant, in particular over the entire service life and / or the entire metallurgical process chain, and computer programs for executing the method according to the invention, in particular by means of a system according to the invention.
- a metallurgical process chain comprises several interdependent manufacturing processes, in particular from primary metallurgy to
- a semi-finished product such as a pipe, rod, profile, sheet metal, bar, slab or the like is produced from a raw material such as ore, scrap and the like.
- a final product is produced from this semi-finished product in one or more subsequent processes, for example through the
- Automotive industry the aviation industry, the construction industry, mechanical engineering or the like. Numerous systems, machines and service providers are involved in the entire metallurgical process chain and for every manufacturing process such as melting, smelting, sintering, pressing, drop forging, extrusion, extrusion, deep drawing, alloying, refining, casting, hot rolling, cold rolling, heat treatment, electroplating, etc. are independent production facilities and / or processes required.
- the individual production systems and / or processes can include associated sub-systems and / or sub-processes.
- the different production systems and / or processes of the metallurgical system are often spatially separated from one another, in particular when changing from primary metallurgy to secondary metallurgy or further to the primary forming and forming processes.
- the individual production systems and / or processes including the associated sub-systems and / or sub-processes can be optimized with regard to different goals, such as, for example, optimized process management, achieved product quality, minimal maintenance measures or comparable goals.

- the data recorded by sensors for example, are stored in a
- Data management facility stored and evaluated by applications.
- identifiers Data management facility via unique identifiers, hereinafter referred to as identifiers, guaranteed. Beyond the necessary conditions of identifiability and availability for correlating data, knowledge of the relationship between the data to be correlated is a sufficient condition.
- the individual production systems and / or processes of a metallurgical system including the associated sub-systems and / or sub-processes are usually operated independently of one another, with the output product of a production system and / or processes having to be physically transported to a remote production system and / or process in order to be there to be further processed. This is particularly the case when changing from primary metallurgy to secondary metallurgy or further to the primary forming and forming processes.
- the production systems and / or processes are operated by different users and may have been produced by different manufacturers.
- the manufacturing process of a production plant of a metallurgical plant begins with the sale and extends through the construction, procurement, manufacture and dispatch up to the commissioning.
- the processes and data management systems that lead to the manufacture of the production plant are mostly heterogeneous.
- the heterogeneity of the source processes or source data management devices thus characterizes the data management devices available for the operation and maintenance of the production systems. From these created structures, an adapted structure must now always be generated separately and anew for each further application, e.g. maintenance.
- entity is used in the following to denote a physical unit for which data is available, e.g. a production plant, an assembly, an individual part, a location, a customer, a spatial area (hall, area, room, or the like), a produced good (coil, bar, slab, or the like) or an abstract unit, e.g. a process, an event, an order, a work order, an error message, etc.
