Enterprise-wide optimization in steelmaking and metals production

Significantly improve production planning and optimization across several metal manufacturing facilities in real time

ABB Ability™ Data Analytics Platform for metals is the digital solution that allows metals producers to obtain a centralized overview of production information from several metals manufacturing facilities in one place and in real-time.

Information is collected from both ABB and non-ABB systems and visualized in flexible, customizable dashboards that provide the basis for faster and more data-driven decisions with the potential to significantly improve planning and optimization.

The enterprise wide optimization (EWO) of steelmaking and metals manufacturing with multi-level, hierarchical structure improves understanding of complex interrelations of energy flows, operational modes and different aspects of coordination between multiple processing units.
