Mexican longs steelmaker Talleres y Aceros (Tyasa) has ordered from Primetals Technologies a production management solution, as well as a billet caster and new castrip-based coil production line for its Ixtaczoquitlan mill.
According to Primetals, the production management solution will implement an order-based production system that utilizes product routing information and corresponding process instructions for the individual processing units.
“A seamless material tracking along the entire production route from heat creation in the electric arc furnace down to the final coil product provides Tyasa with the genealogy information customers require for flat products,” Primetals said in a statement.
The project is expected to be completed early in 2018.
