Project Scope and Completed Projects

ABB 800xA HMI Revisions: The HMI system has been updated to provide a more intuitive and user-friendly interface for operators to monitor and control production processes. The new interface enhances operational visibility, allowing operators to respond more quickly to issues.

Integration of ABB Thickness Measurement System and AGC (Automatic Gauge Control): The ABB thickness measurement system has been integrated with the AGC system to ensure consistent thickness across all production lines. This integration allows for real-time monitoring and automatic adjustments during the rolling process, thereby improving product quality and minimizing material waste.

Production Data Collection Projects: Data collection systems have been implemented to gather real-time production data from various lines. These systems facilitate seamless communication with the automation infrastructure and provide valuable insights for process optimization, enabling better decision-making and proactive maintenance.

At Tezcan Galvaniz, a leading company with an annual production capacity of 1.3 million tons of flat products, we successfully completed the process data integration project between the Cold Rolling Mill and the ERP System. This achievement aligns with Tezcan Galvaniz’s goal of vertical growth, supported by continuous investments in integration and digitalization.
