PSI gains leading Russian electrical steel producer as new client
VIZ-Stal chooses PSImetals 5 for planning und production
Berlin, 6 September 2010 - PSI was commissioned by the leading Russian
electrical steel producer VIZ-Stal to supply PSImetals 5 for the VIZ-Stal
plant in Yekaterinburg. VIZ-Stal will use the components PSImetals
Planning, PSImetals Production and PSImetals Quality within the whole steel
plant.
With the use of PSImetals 5 VIZ-Stal aims to increase transparency of the
production process based on continuous feedback and the collection of
production data. This allows an early response to events in production,
thereby improving the quality and avoiding rejects. The result should
reduce the material consumption of finished products per ton. VIZ-Stal also
wants to increase the efficiency of the production process and the
utilisation of production capacities as well as the reduction of work in
progress by improved planning functionality such as order sequencing and
cutting optimisation.
VIZ-Stal is a leading producer of cold-rolled electrical steels and the
largest producer of grain-oriented electrical steel in Russia. Its share of
global grain-oriented electrical steel production is almost 11 % Over 80 %
of its products are exported. The company is part of the Novolipetsk Steel
group (NLMK). NLMK is the major supplier of hot-rolled coils for further
cold rolling at VIZ-Stal. The main customers of electrical steels are
leading Russian companies in the electrical and electronic industry,
manufacturers of household electrical and radio appliances, as well as
electrical companies from around the world.
With this contract, PSI wins another major new customer in the Russian
steel market. In 2009, Russia was the fifth largest steel producer in the
world. The Russian steel output is expected to grow by at least 10 % in
2010.
PSImetals 5 incorporates the independent, complementary solutions of AIS,
PSI and 4Production into one new integrated offering, creating a product
line that provides an end-to-end solution for the complete supply chain.
Metals-specific products support all processes from planning to production
execution, in full consideration of the complexity of metals production.
PSImetals 5 enables manufacturers of steel and non-ferrous metals to ensure
their competitive edge by helping them reach the goal of full, on-time,
quality certified delivery of their customer orders, while respecting
inventory, productivity and cost performance targets.
