[En curso] Liberty Steel & Wire mejora su producción con Mill Pulse®
This is an ongoing project.
Start date: 2021
End date: 2023
Liberty Steel & Wire has placed an order with Russula for the complete Mill Pulse® suite, Russula's manufacturing execution system solution designed exclusively for rolled steel. The wire rod mill is located in Peoria, IL.
The MES solution is part of the broader scope of an electrical and automation upgrade for the two-wire rod mill, which will improve mill performance, plant-wide information gathering and reporting.
Mill Pulse® will enable Liberty Steel & Wire to organize production and plant tracking, manage raw materials and finished products, collect and control data, reporting and KPI monitoring. It will provide Liberty with a simple, consistent and intuitive tool to pace production; having a global view of the production rate provides an efficiency target for the rolling mill staff to meet end customer demand. Mill Pulse® will also simplify the internal change or setup procedure by eliminating non-essential operations, creating standardized work orders and checklists assigned to user roles within Mill Setup.
Mill Pulse® MES will interface with the new Russula automation system.
