German plantmaker SMS Group has announced that its Brazilian subsidiary Vetta is collaborating with Thailand-based steelmaker Siam Yamato Steel Company Limited (SYS) on energy management.
Accordingly, Vetta will deploy its state-of-the-art Viridis energy solution at SYS’s two plants in Rayong, Thailand, which have a total hot rolled structural steel production capacity of 1.1 million mt per year. This technology, based on advanced AI models, will help the Thai steelmaker to optimize its energy consumption, improve its efficiency, and protect the environment, without compromising production capacity.
One of SYS’ steelmaking facilities includes an electric arc furnace plant with a capacity of 600,000 mt per year, which uses 100 percent recycled raw materials. This plant produces high-standard semi-finished and finished rolled products, including H-beam wide flanges, I-beams, channels, angles, cut beams, and sheet piles.
