关于客户
ArcelorMittal is the world leader in steel manufacturing, and its Dunkirk plant is the largest steel factory in Western Europe. Every year, the Dunkirk steelworks delivers 7 million tons of steel for diverse industries, from automotive manufacturing to construction. With people’s safety depending on reliable steel, consistent product quality is paramount at any steel plant. Ensuring the continuity of the manufacturing process is another key issue as any interruption or equipment failure can be a costly event. Tackling equipment failures or performing routine maintenance usually means shutting down an entire section of a plant. Resuming normal production and bringing furnaces back to smelting temperatures can take up to two days. That’s why most steelworks run 24/7, 365 days a year.
挑战
ArcelorMittal, the world leader in steel manufacturing, operates the largest steel factory in Western Europe in Dunkirk. The plant delivers 7 million tons of steel annually for various industries. Ensuring consistent product quality is paramount, and any interruption or equipment failure can be costly. Regular maintenance is necessary to ensure safe working conditions and manufacturing continuity. However, performing maintenance usually means shutting down an entire section of a plant, which can take up to two days to resume normal production. ArcelorMittal needed to address this challenge and gain better control over its dust emissions to achieve greater operational flexibility for a recent equipment modernization project.
解决方案
Schneider Electric, a partner of ArcelorMittal for over 20 years, had the expertise and solutions to improve the dusting process for better steel quality, process reliability, and working conditions. The Modicon M580 offers a Change Configuration on the Fly (CCoF) feature, allowing maintenance and engineering teams to modify the automation control system without stopping the process. By implementing an IoT-enabled EcoStruxure Plant architecture, the Dunkirk steelworks has gained advanced connectivity that allows for precise dust level monitoring and better control of the entire process. The Modicon M580 has become “the brain” of the second phase dusting process, accountable for collecting and processing data from sensors.
