PSI Awarded Two Important Follow-up Orders by Russian Steel Industry 
Logistics system and additional production control system for the ChTPZ
Group

Together with their Russian partner, Malahit, PSI has been charged by the
ChTPZ Group with the supply of a warehouse and transport management system
(WTM) for the Chelyabinsk large-tube plant as well as an advanced line
sequencing (ALS) and production execution system (PES) for the coating line
within the tube welding complex in Chelyabinsk. Both solutions are based on
the industry standard PSImetals, which has already been implemented in the
course of two projects for the ChTPZ Group. The commencement of operations
for the systems is planned for the second half of 2009.

The objectives of the PSImetals WTM implementation are the optimal
utilization of the automatic transport devices and the warehouse of the
large-tube plant as well as the optimization of the entire logistics
process. With PSImetals PES, the direct exchange of information between the
plant control and the enterprise software will be guaranteed.

Malahit is a Russian IT provider, which has more than 15 years of
experience in the planning, development, implementation and maintenance of
ERP software in the metallurgic industry. PSI had already obtained two
contracts for sequencing and production execution for the ChTPZ Group
plants in Chelyabinsk and Pervouralsk. With the current follow-up orders,
PSI is further expanding its position in the high-growth Russian steel
industry.

PSI AG develops and integrates individual solutions, on the basis of its
own software, for the management of energy networks (electricity, gas, oil,
water, heat), cross-company production management (steel, mechanical
engineering, automotive, logistics) and infrastructure management for
telecommunications, transport and safety. PSI was founded in 1969 and
currently employs more than 1,000 persons in the group. www.psi.de
