Severstal has created an open APCS and is preparing to implement it
In mid-October 2025, it became known that Severstal"" is preparing to introduce an open automated process control system (APCS) within the framework of real production. This platform is being created by an intersectoral working group formed on the initiative of the Industrial Competence Centers (ICC) Metallurgy"" (it includes Severstal) and Chemistry ANO and Digital economy ANO Open Automation Systems.
According to ComNews, referring to the statements of Oleg Lukyanov, head of Severstal's industry solutions department, the APCS will be tested at a real production box office together with several manufacturers of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Severstal itself previously presented an open software PLC. This is one of the key units of APCS, which allows you to process signals from sensors and control the production process.
| | We have created a prototype of an open APCS this year. Next year, we will use this prototype at Severstal together with several manufacturers of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) so that we can test the hypothesis on the current unit. We want to test the system at a real production box office, - said Oleg Lukyanov. | |
Evgeny Ionenko, head of the Industrial Processes cluster of Severstal-Infocom JSC, said that the project participants are creating the second version of the PLC execution core and the open-source I&C development environment. By the end of 2025, it is planned to submit an application to the Federal Institute of Industrial Property (FIPS) and add the product to the register of domestic software of the Ministry of Digital Engineering of the Russian Federation.
In general, the project involves the creation of a trusted and open platform built on the principle of a designer. Each part of the system, including equipment, OS, execution environment and development, will be combined with other elements, forming a "ready-made, sustainable solution." The platform will be able to work correctly with various data stores, ERP and MES systems, as well as other application solutions.
| | Switching to other hardware or software should be as simple and fast as possible - taking not months, but several days. To do this, we are developing a single project transfer standard that is fully compatible with our software PLC, "notes Ionenko.[1] | |

Mastering the production of measuring systems
On September 8, 2021, Severstal announced that it had mastered the production of measuring systems. The company is ready to adapt the developed technical solutions to the customer's tasks. Measuring systems have great scaling potential in a number of industries. Such solutions are applicable at industrial enterprises, including in metallurgy and woodworking, in service metal centers, in the production of metalware products and welded pipe, in retail.
| | The technical development of our employees can be much more flexible, accurate and effective than "boxed" solutions from the leaders of the measuring systems market. We are interested in the production of products adapted to specific tasks. Our experts are well aware of the difficulties that customers face when ordering and delivering such solutions during operation, so they can eliminate risks and provide the best quality at a competitive price. Our company has concentrated the main competencies in the field of development. To offer a comprehensive product ready for operation, we form around the company an ecosystem of scientific and industrial partners, manufacturers of components, - commented Pyotr Mishnev, Director for Technical Development and Quality of Severstal Russian Steel. | |
Several types of measuring systems have been tested in industrial conditions at Severstal. The first of them is video inspection systems for the surface of rolled metal. A pilot project to create its own analogue of foreign equipment was implemented in the production of flat rolled products of the Cherepovets Metallurgical Plant. Such systems provide detection and classification of defects using video cameras, machine vision and neural networks. The effectiveness of the prototype has been confirmed: the image quality obtained from the equipment is not inferior to imported analogues.
The next type is geometric measurement systems and product shapes. Non-contact measurement and control of compliance with the specified parameters are carried out using laser triangulation sensors. The system's task range is wide. You can measure various parameters: the length, width and thickness of the product, its tablet and sickle-like nature, or a set of parameters.
The third type of products is various sensors of the industrial Internet of Things. For example, impact sensors can prevent product injury during handling operations. At the Cherepovets Steel Mill industrial site, such equipment was tested on crane brackets.
By engaging partners in the process of manufacturing measuring systems, Severstal is responsible to the customer for the finished solution. The Company undertakes warranty obligations up to two years, and also provides service support after the expiration of the warranty service period. Severstal plans to improve technical solutions, in particular, to make them more accurate and high-quality, while reducing the cost.

Stan 5000: Artificial intelligence accelerates production
Digital mine: Vorkutaugol continues digital transformation
In 2020, within the framework of the Digital Transformation initiative, a number of innovative projects will continue to be developed at Vorkuta coal mining enterprises, united by the general term Digital Mine[1].
The infrastructure basis of the Digital Mine is a multifunctional security system (MFSS) - a complex of hardware devices for collecting, transmitting, processing data, as well as software. The emergence of such a system was initially dictated by the requirement of legislation in terms of ensuring industrial safety. However, the multifunctionality and wide possibilities made it possible on the basis of IFSB to implement a lot of parallel projects that optimize and control technological processes.
In December 2019, a project for the introduction of an e-book for issuing orders (EKVN) was launched in pilot mode. Two sections of the Zapolyarnaya mine have begun to form replacement production tasks using a digital system. Based on the data received from the IFSB, the EKVN will provide information on the location and movement of each miner on a three-dimensional virtual map of mine workings, keep records and control the timely issuance of personal protective equipment, record the time of employee marks at mine checkpoints, inform about the results of the pre-shift medical examination.
| | - In 2020, we plan to transfer all Zapolyarnaya sites to work with EQUN and begin implementing this system in other mines, "says Alexander Borodich, manager of the Severstal Business System Development Center. - It is also planned to launch the EQUN mobile application for explosion-proof smartphones, which will allow working with EQUN right at the workplace in the mine. | |
The mine smartphone itself will play an increasingly significant role in the Digital Mine. It is planned that in the coming year 495 smartphones will become indispensable assistants not only for engineering and technical workers, but also foremen with link workers. The technical capabilities of the devices are used as efficiently as possible, and with the advent of new applications, the functionality will expand.
| | - In the plans for the development of the IFSB for 2020 - to provide full coverage of all the main mine workings with a WI-FI network, that is, to additionally extend it to more than 60 kilometers, - says Anatoly Puzanov, manager of the Vorkutaugol energy and mechanical service. - After that, all the functions and tools provided in smartphones will be available even in the most remote developments. | |
Another component of the Digital Shaft is the system for monitoring the heating of belt conveyor elements. The equipment conducts continuous thermal imaging of the belt conveyor and promptly warns personnel about the increased heating of some of its elements. One such system, tracking 1.2 kilometers of the conveyor, was launched at the Zapolyarnaya mine in November 2019. For 2020, it is planned to introduce seven more complexes, which will control a total of 8.4 kilometers of conveyor lines. The high cost of equipment is still hindering widespread implementation, but the project has already proven its effectiveness by warning a long-term simple conveyor in December last year.
2019
Launching an Innovation Discovery Platform
On September 30, 2019, Severstal announced the launch of Severstal Open Innovation (innovations.severstal.com), which is designed to become a tool for working with the company's open innovations. It lists all ways the company interacts with startups, innovation teams and industry experts, as well as specifying priority areas and specific tasks.
Severstal Open Innovation contains a Challenges section, which is updated with current challenges from Severstal's production units. For example, a technology is being developed to separate metal dust from sand or to find ways to isolate abrasion-resistant pedestrian zones. Companies will be able to offer their ideas on solving these and other problems or test existing technologies at Severstal's industrial sites. Also, the tasks of the Challenges section can serve as topics for research work. The list of tasks will be constantly updated, and teams will be able to work directly with experts and specialists of the company.
In addition, on the Severstal Open Innovation website, you can apply to the Severstal Ventures corporate fund, familiarize yourself with the capabilities of the Severstal Technopark and learn about the start of the next wave of recruitment to the Steel Tech accelerator or about the requirements for online projects for cooperation with Severstal Digital Business.
| | Severstal actively attracts ideas and proposals: we have been operating the Technopark for about a year, an accelerator was launched in the spring, Severstal Ventures completed several transactions in a year. These tools were added - Challenges and Severstal Digital business. Now they are all conveniently collected on the same resource and give an idea of the possibilities for interacting with our company. We hope that startups and industry experts will show interest in them, and together we can make metallurgy a more advanced and technological industry, commented on Technical Director and Head of Severstal Transformation Office Agnes Ritter

2017
Digital Is a New Growth Point
Russian steel companies in 2017 are entering a new investment cycle. Its characteristic feature will be the absence of new large projects, the growth of dividend yields and the active introduction of new digital technologies.
Severstal"" continues to steer a course towards innovation and high returns for shareholders - to this end, it is developing new lines of work such as digital technology and e-commerce, and using total shareholder returns as a key benchmark. "Aton" Analyst Andrei Lobazov came to this conclusion after the autumn "Steel Sector Investors Day."
The metallurgist's strategy for 2018 is to increase EBITDA. At the same time, Severstal is already one of the most efficient Russian metallurgical companies. The company's EBITDA in 2016 amounted to $1.9 billion, the company's EBITDA margin is the highest in the industry - 32.3%.
It would seem that increasing financial indicators is a universal task of any business. What is important, however, is how the company envisions increasing them. Severstal management intends to reduce production costs and optimize its marketing strategy through the development and implementation of digital technologies and the Internet trading system, follows from the report of Aton, which was reviewed by TAdviser.
The company took up the topic of digital closely in 2016, Anastasia Mishanina, head of communications at Severstal, told TAdviser. And now, she says, digital adoption is a new growth point.
In 2017, Severstal intends to allocate about 1.7 billion rubles for the introduction of information technologies, Mishanina said. The company predicts total capital expenditures for 2017 at 34 billion rubles. Thus, the company invests about 5% of capital expenditures in the digitalization of production.
Until 2017, the company did not allocate the share of digital projects in the capex structure, Mishanina emphasized.
If we do not take into account the country risks, which have recently increased significantly in Russia, then metallurgists as of 2017 simply do not need to significantly expand their steel capacity, since there is an overproduction of steel on the market.
Director of the Center for Economic Forecasting of Gazprombank Airat Khalikov told TAdviser that the consumption of rolled steel in Russia in 2016 amounted to 56.6% (40.1 million tons) of total production - 70.8 million tons. The rest was sold in foreign markets: CIS, European Union, Turkey. According to specialists from the Gazprombank Center for Economic Forecasting, in 2017 the situation will not change much: 72 million tons of rolled steel will be produced in Russia, domestic consumption will be 44, 1 million tons (61.25%).
Industrial projects of metallurgists today are associated with updating or maintaining the raw material base or with the production of galvanized and coated rolled products - a market in which there is still a share of imports from China. However, capital expenditures in such projects are moderate, Andrei Lobazov is sure. The utilization of steelmaking facilities in Russia, according to him, is 83-84%. And in the current market conditions, there is no need to increase it:
"The growth in the load of steelmaking capacities in Russia can occur only against the background of an increase in demand for steel from the construction sector, but it is not growing yet," the expert explained in a conversation with TAdviser.
That is why Severstal focuses on increasing the efficiency of current capacities and increasing the share of products with high added value, the company representative notes.
The main criterion for making a decision on the introduction of a particular technology is its economic feasibility: the project should pay off and begin to bring arrivals within two years from the moment of launch, says Anastasia Mishanina.
As of November 2017, at the stage of implementation, the company has seven mathematical models for analyzing big data, the effect of which is estimated at about 300 million rubles.
One of the areas that the company is actively developing is the Auto-Certification project, which was effectively launched on Severstal assets. This is a model that collects the history of metal production data and analyzes it for specified characteristics. In parallel, the system evaluates the characteristics of the production process in real time. Comparing historical data and reality, "Auto-Certification" calculates how much metal will be obtained from incoming raw materials and what characteristics it will have. This allows technologists to take samples in a timely manner, makes the operation of operational and technical control services more efficient and minimizes the likelihood of rejection to the next redistribution or to the client, an interlocutor at Severstal told TAdviser.
Modernization, automation and introduction of information technologies is what is happening now in almost every metallurgical holding, emphasizes Aton analyst Andrei Lobazov in a conversation with TAdviser:
| | By increasing the efficiency of technological processes, companies reduce the consumption of raw materials, reduce the number of rejects and the duration of repair downtime, which has a positive effect on production indicators and production costs | |
Due to the fact that steel is able to respond to new requests from society in terms of manufacturability, it will definitely remain in its traditional areas of application and will be able to effectively fight for new markets, says Mishanina from Severstal. For example, they have become good prospects for use in the construction of the so-called fifth mode of transport - the vacuum train hyperloop, the concept of which was proposed by Elon Musk, she predicts.
Automate purchasing steps
The target process provides for a complete set of automated controls of all steps of the procurement process, from the bid to the actual purchase price in accordance with the tender protocol, as well as a built-in process for evaluating the results of cooperation with the supplier throughout the work with it
Change of Chief information officer: Sergey Dunaev instead of Yuri Shekhovtsov
In April 2017, Severstal left Information Technology Director Yuri Shekhovtsov, moving to work at Norilsk Nickel. His successor was Sergey Dunaev, who was tasked with combining all IT management facilities into a single system that uses the best world practices and ensures the growth of Severstal's competitive advantages.
Appointment of Digital Development Director
On January 31, 2017, Severstal announced the appointment of Igor Bardintsev, a native of Sberbank, as Director of Digital Technology Development (CDO). In this role, he is responsible for developing and implementing Severstal's digital strategy, as well as integrating all digital aspects into a single system.
2014: Consolidation of the IT service and its transfer to Severstal-Infocom
In 2014, Severstal completed the consolidation of the IT service and the process of its transfer to a separate subsidiary, Severstal-Infocom, Yuri Shekhovtsov, IT Director , told TAdviser in January 2015 . Severstal's own SAP center , which was previously an internal division of the company, was transferred to it. Now Infocom is a single company providing IT services and implementing IT projects at Severstal, Shekhovtsov explained.
In the process of centralizing the IT staff and transferring it to a separate company, Severstal optimized its total number by about 30%. Optimization affected those areas where there was an excess of personnel.
As of the end of 2014, Severstal has a total of 568 "classic IT" people, including the SAP team, not including technological line communication in factories. And if you count with machine gunners, then in the direction of IT, the company employs about 620 people, said the director of IT at Severstal.
Severstal plans to relocate its team of SAP specialists from Moscow Voronezh, since there is a more attractive labor market. According to Yuri Shekhovtsov, Voronezh the company has already opened an office, a little more than 50 employees work there. In total, 155 people work in SAP, some of them in, To Moscow some of them in. Cherepovets
2012: IT strategy: replacement of EDMS, Wi-Fi in production, reduction of IT staff
In the fall of 2012, a new IT strategy was adopted at the committee of key users of the Severstal metallurgical concern, Yuri Shekhovtsov, Chief information officer of the company, told CNews. The planning horizon in this document is until April 2016.
At the top level, the strategy recorded that the IT division, as a cost center, serves the main business of the holding, and the development of IT is determined by the goals of the business. "These goals are to be in the top five companies in the metallurgical industry in terms of EBITDA, build a vertically integrated holding and, finally, be present in consolidated growing markets," Shekhovtsov lists. "In fact, we see IT as supporting these goals."
He calls the main works replication SAP to the North American division, the introduction of production execution systems (, MES manufacturing execution system, such projects will be the largest for Severstal in 2013-2014) and the deployment of a technological network in Wi-Fi production.
| | We systematically deployed the ERP system in the Russian Steel division throughout 2012, says Shekhovtsov. - This work is actually completed, we started the last stage on October 1 at Severstal-Metiz. There are still a number of quite small companies that we will transfer to SAP in 2013. | |
Earlier, the total costs of metallurgists for German ERP licenses were announced, which amounted to $15.6 million. However, according to the Chief information officer, the overall order of costs "is much higher if we take the amounts for internal and external consulting of the consortium of IBM, BearingPoint and other colleagues." According to CNews, in addition to paying for licenses, contractors received about $17 million for the work performed.
| | Industrial deployment of Wi-Fi at production sites should be completed in 2013. Based on this project, we will make decisions about which implementations will appear, - explains Shekhovtsov. - There is an idea to make a mobile solution for maintenance and repairs (maintenance), we are talking about adding data to the system directly from mobile devices. The development of a video surveillance system is tied to the completion of the infrastructure project. For a number of such ideas, a final decision has not yet been made | |
Also, the changes were supposed to affect the electronic document management system. Severstal worked for Boss-Referent.
| | We already have a project "Core" to transfer to a new document management system, - said Shekhovtsov. - Strategically, we decided to switch to SharePoint, which is more technologically convenient for us. In fact, a pilot project has already been made at Severstal Resources. We received all the functionality that we planned, but the work has not yet been finally accepted. Accordingly, there is no final decision on the volume of replication | |
There was a restructuring of the IT division with a reduction in the number of employees.
| | We had 1,064 people, by the end of 2012 we planned to leave 732 employees, "Shekhovtsov said. - Now we are moving, maybe even more dynamically. This is without the SAP competence center, where there are both project employees and operating personnel. The target number of the center is about 230 people, and now we have about 190 people working in it | |
