“You cannot manage what you do not measure” is an eternal principle of management. Until you can measure your processes, you have no idea whether they are getting better or worse. Primetals Technologies LR Process Expert is a cost-efficient process automation system for all types of long rolling mills, including rod, bar, section, rail, reversing mills and flat blocks. The system performs a wide range of tasks for optimized operation, from suggesting pass schedules to calculating and downloading optimized mill settings according to the availability of rolls. LR Process Expert also monitors and collects data from the raw material stage through to the finished product. It delivers valuable mill reports to the operations staff and management so they can easily assess a plant’s performance and optimize production. This system can enable plant-to-plant performance comparison at the corporate level.
