Intelligent Scrap Yard Management (iSYM)
Tenova’s innovative iSYM solution is an engineered modular system dedicated to the management of all scrap yard operations. Effective management is achieved through the improvement and extension of the supervision, control and command functions. The system provides complete identification and tracking of all scrap materials used in the steel production process.
Overview
As modular system, the iSYM is designed to adapt to effective customer’s needs and is able to grow up with them.
iSYM is composed mainly by three modules, that cover three different functions:
The first module is dedicated to the Raw Materials Receiving at the plant entrance; another module is dedicated to the Raw Material Handling in the scrap yard area; a module is dedicated to the EAF Scrap Charge cost optimization.
iSYM is natively designed to be integrated with higher level information systems dedicated to the management of stocks and purchase orders of scrap and to extend and complete the functionality of the weighing systems present at the entry or exit stations of trucks or rail cars that supply the plant with ferrous material.
In addition to this, iSYM sends to the EAF process control systems the detailed information of the real metallic charge of the furnace, thus allowing the optimization of the melting process.
