PSI will perform all market activities for metal production and metalworking under one name PSI Metals, uniting PSI BT GmbH, AIS Advanced Information Systems GmbH & Co, KG and Production AG under one roof.

PSI Metals GmbH was therefore founded in early April 2010 by renaming PSI BT GmbH. The PSI Metals Group operates worldwide, offering a combined range of services optimised to meet the production management needs of the metals industry with its new product version PSI metals.

By acquiring leading providers of production management software, such as AIS Advanced Information Systems who focuses on supply chain planning and 4Production who specialises in the aluminium and copper industry, PSI has managed to increase the attractiveness of its service spectrum. The new PSI Metals Group thus represents the world’s largest provider of software solutions in this market segment.

After only six months, PSI is presenting the initial results of pooling market activities in the form of a joint version of the product PSI metals 5, which combines the strengths of each of the former solutions of PSI BT, AIS and 4Production in one solution. From specialised methods of optimisation for specific requirements to seamlessly integrated planning, production and logistics processes, PSI metals 5 fulfils the most varied optimisation requirements for all steel, aluminium and copper production processes.

PSI AG develops and integrates complete solutions, on the basis of its own software products, for the management of energy networks, cross company production management and infrastructure management for telecommunications, transport and safety. PSI was founded in 1969 and employs 1,400 per sons in the group.
