Intelligent steel manufacturing

Development history and problems of iron and steel intelligent manufacturing
The informational development of the iron and steel industry can be roughly divided into three stages: the first stage is the initial exploration stage, is the single application of the department informational level; The second stage is the rapid development stage, is the enterprise informatization level of comprehensive integration; The third stage is the mature transformation stage of ERW pipe, which is the intelligent improvement at the depth information level.

In recent years, the integration level of China’s iron and steel industry has been significantly improved, from 47.7 in 2015 to 54.3 in 2020, with an increase of 13.8%. Moreover, it has made great efforts to build pilot demonstration of intelligent manufacturing, new model of intelligent manufacturing and pilot demonstration of industrial Internet application. However, at present, China’s steel industry is still facing a series of problems, including: intelligent manufacturing foundation of China steel tube manufacturers is not solid, information island phenomenon is serious; The complexity of industrial mechanism is high, and it is difficult to construct digital model. Lack of control over core intellectual property rights and low proportion of original innovation application.

New requirements and practices of intelligent manufacturing of iron and steel
Big data is a new stage in the development of informatization. Under the guidance of the policy, China’s intelligent manufacturing has entered a new stage of “data utilization”. Under the background of “double carbon”, intelligent manufacturing in China’s steel industry is also facing new requirements for rectangular hollow section. Dynamic energy consumption monitoring and energy consumption analysis will be carried out on high energy consumption equipment in the steel production link, and an energy management center with energy planning, evaluation, balance and prediction models will be established to improve energy efficiency and management level, and help the industry and enterprises to save energy and reduce carbon.

At present, China’s iron and steel industry and enterprises are deeply carrying out intelligent manufacturing practice on the basis of significantly improving the level of integration. In view of the development of intelligent manufacturing in China’s iron and steel industry during the “14th Five-Year Plan”, it is suggested to continuously deepen the utilization of data, with the goal of maximizing benefits, real-time service, intelligent decision-making and visualization of operations, and the construction of a new generation of carbon steel pipe management and control center as the focus of intelligent manufacturing. While solving the problem of isolated information through the intelligent management and control center, the in-depth utilization of data is promoted.
