Severstal implemented the geoinformation Sarex platform

2020: Implementation of the geoinformation Sarex platform

The digital platform of the resident Skolkovo Sarex companies allows to solve problems in the field of production processes and construction of large objects on the platform of Cherepovets metallurgical plant (CHERMK) on the basis of data from unmanned aerial vehicles and laser scanning. On May 13, 2020 the Skolkovo Foundation reported about it.

By means of aerial photography with the subsequent photogrammetric processing specialists of the Domnaremont Center (enters the Severstal Russian Steel division) receive orthophotomaps of objects and three-dimensional models. According to aero monitoring users of the software package Sarex have an opportunity directly from the workplace to perform measurements, to keep track of dynamics on objects and also to unload data in the programs intended for design.

Staff of the production divisions and functions specializing in implementation of investment projects already actively use a system. For example, workers of koksoaglodomenny production of CherMK and Severstal-Vtorchermet company using a software module estimate load of ground storages. Also Sarex helps to control process of construction of large strategic objects, such as blast furnace No. 3 and coke battery No. 11. So, specialists of construction supervision can estimate amounts of completed work on all platform and quickly make the relevant decisions. told Evgeny Vinogradov, the CEO of the Severstal Russian Steel division

Sarex is an excellent example of platform approach to development of a product and commercialization of technology of "digital doubles". The solution of the company is applicable on the majority of repartitions of mining and metallurgical productions therefore we calculate that this implementation will become the first step to long-term cooperation between Sarex and Severstal. noted Alexey Belyakov, the Vice president, the Chief executive of a cluster of the advanced production technologies of Skolkovo Foundation

For May 13, 2020 the Sarex platform is at a stage of trial operation and is used on platforms of three business units of PJSC Severstal – CherMK, JSC Vorkutaugol and JSC Yakovlevsky GOK. In process of development of a system there will be an additional functionality demanded in the conditions of the enterprise. Also integration with ERP systems will be executed. About 40 employees of directorate on investments (is a part of the Severstal Russian Steel division) and production divisions of CherMK underwent elementary education from developers of a software package.
