"Projects of this kind that need very complex project management are always a challenge. However, we had very positive experiences here in our collaboration with focus. The project was realized without a hitch."
Having completed the conversion to the new WinCC V7 SCADA system, the first step has been taken toward modernizing the plant in the control field as well.
Thanks to the availability of data in the Process Historian and the connection to the ERP system, detailed long-term analyses are now possible which have already led to optimizations in the plant and raised productivity.
Access to the plant via the network is possible at any time and from any location – a great advantage when the operating personnel have questions for the service technicians and maintenance engineers. It is also possible for focus to connect to the plant at any time and therefore offer immediate support in the event of control system problems.
In the course of this modernization project, the Hot Dip Galvanizing Plant 2 at thyssenkrupp Steel Europe has reached higher outputs and greater process reliability.
