Completed Projects

• Gear Shift Automation:
  Automatic gear ratio adjustments were implemented based on production speed and material structure, enabling more flexible operations and reducing downtime.
• Pass-Line Adjustment:
  The automatic height adjustment of the production line was optimized to ensure the proper flow and positioning of materials. This improvement helped prevent material deviations and errors.
• Roll Transfer Car Automation:
  The roll transfer car automation was designed to enable the quick and safe replacement of rolls, minimizing downtime and increasing overall line efficiency.
• Thickness Measurement System Integration:
  The ABB Thickness Measurement System was integrated with the automation infrastructure to enable real-time monitoring of material thickness at every stage of production. This system provides operators with the ability to intervene instantly, ensuring superior product quality.
• Centering Measurement System Communication:
  The communication between thickness and centering measurement devices and the automation system enhanced precision and raised quality standards across the production line.
• Coil Barcode System Installation:
  A barcode system was installed to track each coil throughout the production and shipping processes. This system streamlined traceability, accelerated stock management processes, and enabled quick responses to production errors through digital monitoring.
