Severstal Digital Solutions (Data Center Automation: Data-Track Digital Platform)

2017: MES (DCA, PTG). Software and deployment of metal tracking system (production accounting) at TPZ-Sheksna

The project includes the following MES technologies (according to MES-11): the DCA (Data Collection/Acquisition) function - data collection and storage, PTG (English Product Tracking and Genealogy) - product tracking and genealogy. The project provides the ability to obtain information about the status and location of the order at each time. Status information includes who is performing the task, components, materials, and their suppliers, lot number, serial number, current manufacturing conditions, process disturbance warnings, reprocessing data, and other product-related events. Real-time tracking creates historical data about the progress of production processes. This data ensures the traceability of the components and their use in each final product. The solution is based on the DATA-TRACK platform.

The created production accounting system provided:

• Real-time production data collection.
• Control of metal movement and production processes at production units.
• Filling product passports with technological parameters and events. Provision of product passports with related process information in the form of schedules. Formation of product passports and related process information.
• Transfer of information on production tasks to APCS, identification of performance of production tasks.
