Digitalization in Hot and Cold Rolling Mills

Article Preview

Abstract:

The demands made by the market on the steel industry will again become significantly greater in the near future.Examples of this are the expansion of the product mix, the production of smaller batch sizes, higher quality requirements, and lower prices. The paper presents possible responses of the equipment builder to these challenges. Digitalisation concepts should in particular support production engineering (hot/cold rolling) to the effect that new, mostly high-strength materials can be produced in an economically efficient way to hence allow their speedy introduction on the market.
