Automated Metal Tracking System is aimed to collect, process and store data from process units and PCS at all production stages.

Introduction of Automated Metal Tracking System enables:

• Integrating all information subsystems of the section, shop, production in order to get on-line information about the current production process
• Maintaining product database, recording all parameters and properties, monitoring process operations and current location for generation of a product report
• Generating a full electronic product certificate and a shipping list to be sent to a Customer (Buyer)
• Transferring required information to upper control level systems (ERP systems) to generate product quantity and quality reports

Main Functions of Automated Metal Tracking System: 

• On-line receipt of the data from associated information about metal tracking through process operations linked to the unique product identifier (blank, breakdown bar number)
• Incoming data storage in the database with recording of process events in real time, reflecting the metal movement through main process sections
• Automatic receipt of data on process parameters of individual units and process lines, matching process data to individual products
• Central storage of all data on process and final inspection of products linked to the unique product identifier and time
• On-line display of metal movement data and process parameters at the operators' workstations
• Formation of an end product certificate with data from all stages of production and quality control
• Display of archive data of operational parameters for both a product unit and group (batch, melting operation, shift) at the workstations of operating and administrative personnel
• Data transfer to the upper level system for analysis, recording and calculation of technical and economic performance of a section, a shop, production
• Diagnostics and monitoring of primary data collection devices

System software and hardware are configured with due regard to conditions and scope of problems to be solved.
