System for identification and management of 3-roll stands and 3-roll guides: a key component of the digital transformation in hot rolling mills.
RFID (radio frequency identification) technology is used for contactless data transfer to identify stands and guides.
The main benefits of SID are preventing human errors and supporting active quality control during production.
SID enables automatic monitoring of correct installation in accordance with the passage design and rolling plan. Costly production interruptions and equipment damage caused by paving stones due to incorrect stand alignment are prevented.
SID is also a maintenance management and resource planning system for key components. Their proper mechanical and technological condition has a direct impact on the most important issues such as:
- Final quality of hot finished product
- Repeatability of the highest product quality
- facility availability and operating cost (e.g. cost of tools and maintenance)
