OMK awarded to Danieli the order for Danieli Automation Q3-MET, the MES system designed specifically for metallurgical applications, for the new seamless pipe complex which will be put in operation in the next months at Vyksa, Nizhny Novgorod region, Russia.
A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) enables parameter-setting of the orders, scheduling of the plant production, production tracking, management of raw materials and semi-finished product yards, collection and control of quality data, and web-based production reporting, together with powerful tools for KPI monitoring.
Supplied by Danieli, featuring FQT - Fine Quality Train technology, the complex will produce 500,000 tpy of OCTG products.
The activities planned for customizing and installing this production management software are in advanced progress. The test of the foreseen cases with the customized MES proceeded smoothly and concluded ahead of expectations.
The new MES will be interfaced with those already installed by Danieli Automation for the pipe production in Vyksa for the OMK group.
