Process–based Level 2 systems for stable, lower cost blast furnace operations

In order to organise and create good and actionable information from the tsunami of data that, today, is flowing into blast furnace control rooms, Level 2 automation systems are being developed and constantly improved within the industry. Danieli Corus believes the need for them will continue to grow, led by operational cost pressures and the rapid developments being made in the fields of smart technologies, user-friendly data analysis software tools and condition-based maintenance methods. Danieli Corus’s own Level 2 system is designed in such a way that clientspecific requirements can be implemented easily to suit the needs of each client, and with close collaboration between operational, software and automation specialists.
