PSI Continues Successful Internationalisation in the Steel Industry
Production management system PSImetals for ThyssenKrupp Stainless in USA
Berlin, 1 September 2008 – PSI has been charged by ThyssenKrupp Stainless
USA with the delivery and implementation of the production management
system PSImetals for the stainless steel plant being built in Alabama, USA.
The new plant will consist of, amongst other things, an electro-steel mill
and cold rolling mill including the finishing line for the production of
high-quality stainless steels. In the future, it is intended that
PSImetals, serving as the comprehensive system, will optimise the
production processes in the steel mill and cold rolling mill.
The initial phase of the solution consists of the functional segments
Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) und Advanced Line Sequencing (ALS).
'With the introduction of PSImetals at the Alabama site, ThyssenKrupp
Stainless is continuing the proven IT strategy', explains Klemens
Bransmöller, CIO ThyssenKrupp Stainless and ThyssenKrupp Nirosta in
Germany. 'PSI solutions have been running successfully for more than five
years at the steel and cold rolling mills in our German plants. The
PSImetals roll-out for the Shanghai Krupp Stainless cold rolling mill in
China reinforces the decision to introduce the solution at ThyssenKrupp
Stainless USA as well.'
The ThyssenKrupp Stainless USA order is, following orders from France,
Brazil, China, Canada and Russia, already the sixth major international
order from steel producers this year. With this order, PSI is continuing
the growth of its steel software subsidiary PSI BT GmbH on the North
American continent and in the global 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,
heat, water), 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 1,100 persons in the group. www.psi.de
