Modernization of the coil transport system at ThyssenKrupp Steel Bochum

摘要

The modern hot strip mill at ThyssenKrupp Steel's Bochum facilities not only covers the group's total demand of flat stainless steel product, but it also produces considerable quantities of quality steel. When the capacity of the hot strip mil! was expanded, the coil transport system turned out to be a bottleneck. A new integrated coil transport and dispatch centre now ensures smooth throughput in all areas of the hot strip mill. The dispatch of the hot strip co Is is today largely automated, as a result of the networked operation of the coil transport and the store management system.
