This article discusses the main application fields of the Industry 4.0 concept at the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Company (MMK); this concept enables creating a unified information foundation for implementing a set of measures to optimize and improve the efficiency of individual units, workshops, industries, and the overall enterprise. For the blast furnace iron-making process, this concept involves the intellectualization of the process personnel’s tasks, provision of solutions to modeling problems, process flow optimization, and implementation of decision-making support systems in production processes automation and control. Using the methodology of system research, the Ural Federal University (UrFU) and Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK) improved the model of the blast furnace process and significantly expanded its practical capabilities; they accomplished such an improvement by considering the thermal mode, gas-dynamic mode, blasting mode, slag mode, available information on the blast furnace operation, and the uneven distribution of materials and gases. Software development using contemporary digital technologies has resulted in the creation of an automated system for analyzing and forecasting blast furnace production situations in the MMK, and this enables solving a set of technological problems for the management of blast furnace smelting. Keywords: Industry 4.0; intelligence control systems; blast furnace iron-making; process tasks; analysis and forecasting of production situations; optimization; algorithm; software; automated system
Currently, several major metallurgical companies in Russia have announced the implementation of Industry 4.0. The strategy for the implementation of this concept is determined by the scale of the enterprise, its technical and financial capabilities, and the readiness of the company’s management to implement the relevant tasks. The concept of Industry 4.0 is diverse, and it represents a complex of various technological, technical, and organizational aspects. Some technological and technical aspects are understandable, as well as their capabilities and applicability. Organizational aspects also represent an important factor in the successful promotion of the concept. The implementation of projects requires special approaches of project management in the organization. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
