Monitoring and controlling energy and utility consumptions, and implementing efficient recovery strategies, are important goals for the metals industry, to increase environmental sustainability and cut operating costs. This approach involves not only conventional energy sources, but renewable ones, too, such as solar, hydro, wind and tidal. And customers can implement it thanks to our digital solutions ranging from plant consumption monitoring to energy management systems, which allow dynamic control of energy flows, thus reducing consumption from the grid.

Case
History

Who

Who

The virtual collaboration solution has been widely adopted by the Danieli Group, in both plant-making and steel-making divisions.

Why

Why

The requirements can be summarised as follows:

  • business continuity during the COVID-19 emergency for plant-making division departments;
  • improvement of the efficiency of on-field maintenance operations for the steel-making division, in combination with their maintenance management system.
How

How

Adoption of Q-SPACE1, the all-in-one solution that leverages augmented, mixed and virtual reality to support technicians during their work in the field, expanding their capabilities so that they can complete their repair and service tasks more quickly and efficiently.

The solution was aimed at implementing the following tasks:

  • Remote monitoring and supporting of on-site erection and commissioning activities involving experienced technicians from the company headquarters.
  • performance of supplier and material qualification from distance;
  • involvement of customers, connected remotely, in mechanical, electrical and automation factory acceptance tests;
  • support maintenance and technical assistance interventions.

The product roadmap includes the development of several add-ons, including training in virtual reality environment and augmented reality, catering to the specific needs of the metals industry and enabling easy integration in customer IT ecosystems.

What

What

The benefits can be summarised as follows:

  • keeping on site operations on-going in spite of travel restrictions;
  • it increased maintenance first-time fix rate for the steel-making division.

What is more, we noticed that the incremental adoption is currently changing conservative mindsets, raising awareness of the possibility of approaching several jobs in a different way, while guaranteeing the same performance and consistently cutting operating costs.
