TISCO extends scope of Broner Scheduling and MES solutions

Broner Metals Solutions, the world’s leading provider of supply chain planning, scheduling and manufacturing execution systems, specifically for Steel and Aluminium industries, has announced a new contract to extend the scope of the existing Melt Shop Scheduling and Control solutions for Taiyuan Iron and Steel Ltd (TISCO) to span additional new equipment at the plant in TaiYuan city, ShanXi province, China.

TISCO is currently using Broner Caster Scheduler and Melt Shop Control Centre for scheduling and management of the Melt Shop, and for improved visibility of the production process. These modules are helping the company to increase adherence to plans and achieve greater production visibility, reduce delivery times and improve the reliability of delivery dates.

The new project was initiated in order to extend the capacity of the current Broner modules to manage the increased complexity of production process caused by the new equipment. The existing solution will be extended to take into account the new BOF converter, the ladle furnace and double-strand caster machine, which are expected to be in full production by 2010.

‘We are pleased with the initial results produced by Caster Scheduler and Melt Shop Control Centre and have the experience of their implementation so we are 100 percent confident in a successful outcome of this project’, said Nie Jingfeng, TISCO Project Manager
