Russian steel maker MMK has put into commercial operation an automated system for monitoring the availability of railcars and strip trucks at the long products shop of Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works. A new joint development by MMK-Informservice LLC and KonsOM SKS CJSC makes it possible to track the process of product transportation and its accounting in rolling shops. The system is designed for informational support of wagons with products along the entire route in the dead ends of the workshop and timely notification of supervisory services about inconsistencies when moving wagons. In real time, it will be able to track not only the presence of wagons at dead ends, but also their numbering, as well as incoming and outgoing goods. The introduction of the technology will also greatly facilitate the investigation of incidents and, as a result, will help reduce the risk of theft of metal products.Specialists of MMK-Informservice LLC integrated the new system into the existing dispatching complex for video surveillance for the safety of inventory items of PJSC MMK, providing the ability to quickly receive various data on the list of recognized & unrecognized cars that passed through the dead end. All collected information is processed and stored within the system.At present, an automated control system for railcars at loading dead ends has been introduced in the long products shop, in September it is planned to launch it in the production of thick-plate products, and before the end of the year - in sheet-rolling shops No 5 and 11.
