Projects
Digital Twin for a Steel Manufacturing Plant 01 Jul 2024 - 30 Sep 2024
AMNS, India
Skills
Objective
Lean Manufacturing AMNS India sought to analyze the impact of irregularities on the efficiency of the steel-making process in real-
time and determine their duration. The goal was to enable employees to take necessary actions and optimize the
Agile Manufacturing
production accordingly. Additionally, AMNS required a system to run various conditional simulations to enhance
Quality Control
plant efficiency.
Tools
Data Analysis Data Visualization
Solution
PLC
To meet these needs, Digital Twin technology was implemented. This system detects faults, triggers alarms for
Programming
irregularities, and generates productivity reports in real-time. It also includes a simulation environment where
HMI & SCADA
various factors and their impacts on process efficiency can be tested and analyzed. Based on these alerts and
Design
reports, AMNS employees leverage their expertise to take corrective actions, leading to necessary production
Robot
optimization.
