CISDI intelligence is set to play an important role in transforming one of China’s largest steelmakers into a smart-working producer with impressive industry credentials.

Nanjing Steel, a large steel enterprise with an annual production capacity of 10 million tonnes, will become one of China’s most competitive steel enterprises when CISDigital’s Integrated Control Centre is integrated into the plant’s pan-ironmaking procedures.

The intelligence will enable smart decision-making, operation and control and smart production.

Provided by CISDigital on an EPC basis, the ICC will harness 60 years of data collated by the steel plant’s production and management systems.

It will increase coordination throughout the plant. The central control rooms for 14 of its procedures - from stockyard to sintering, coking and blast furnace ironmaking - will be integrated.

As a result, the plant’s safety and technological integration will be enhanced. The ICC will create borderless organisations for production and management, improve production efficiency and aim to achieve leading industry indicators.

ICC products have carved out a benchmark role for CISDI in China’s intelligent manufacturing industry.

Nanjing Steel is the third of China’s 10 million tonne steel enterprises to apply CISDI’s ICC products. It follows in the footsteps of WISCO and Baowu Group’s Shaogang plant.
