Broner Liquid Metal Scheduler

The Broner Liquid Metals Scheduler provides a detailed heat-level forecast of production requirements for primary and secondary steel-making equipment. It is based on the caster schedules generated by the Broner Caster Scheduler module.

Steel-making problems (such as moving bottlenecks or too much/ too little liquid metal inventory) can be avoided by using the forecast to visualise problems in advance. Casting speed or caster schedules can then be adjusted to resolve the problem.

Benefits

• Reduced cost due to reduced pig-iron dumping and longer and tundish sequences
• Improved customer services due to better balancing of liquid-steel making with casting, rolling and finishing.

Features

• Real-time integration with process systems
• Graphical, interactive GANTT chart of all steel making equipment
• Predicts liquid-iron inventories and consumptions
• Considers planned shut downs and cyclic maintenance
