- Higher performance, increased accuracy, full utilization of the stockyard area, and optimized energy consumption compared to staffed operation
- Pilot project for Jiangsu Binxin Special Steel Material Co. Ltd. is a first step towards intelligent upgrading of plants
To improve air quality in China's urban centers, part of the country's counter measures has resulted in stockyard of iron, steel and the production of other industrial activities to move to indoor facilities instead of traditional outdoor locations. To take an industry leadership role, while continuing to meet expanding market needs by increasing production capacity, the Jiangsu Binxin Special Steel Material Co. Ltd. (Binxin Steel) decided to upgrade its plant intelligence by moving to an innovative autonomous stockyard management system from Siemens. This also has the advantage of overcoming the challenge of hiring and retaining skilled workers and engineers, while simultaneously providing continuous, safe, secure, and reliable operations. This project is a first step towards upgrading of the company's plant intelligence.
