Automation, Control and Monitoring support is offered by CSM for the following topics:

Process Control Systems

• Mathematical models for off-line simulations, based on the FEM technique (flat and long product rolling, seamless tube rolling, heating processes) coupled with microstructure models;
• Process control models installations (Level 2 automation systems);
• Neural network models for data pre-processing and neural net training for process control systems;
• Intranet and Internet Web-based technology Monitoring Systems, taking advantage of fuzzy logic, statistical and conventional mathematical models and relational data bases, fed by the measurement system (Level 0) and the automation system (Level 1 and 2);
• Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Statistical Quality Control (SQC) models;
• Virtual measuring sensors.

Some of the above mentioned capabilities have reached the level of a self-standing product ready to be customized to the client needs. These products and their main characteristics are described below:

SISTEC

The result of a continuous work of development and implementation, provides an on-line innovative automatic and control system which, when integrated with existing automation systems and measurement devices, allows the successful pursue of the following targets:

• optimization of process parameters;
• execution of process and product diagnosis;
• reports for the disponibility of plants.
