SUMMARY:Metals production management 4.0
DESCRIPTION:At the age of Industry 4.0 and complex supply chain ecosystems, production management systems face a double challenge: first, they need to be re-designed to address increasing requirements for supply chain flexibility and resilience: business process flows and manufacturing strategies need to be more adaptive than ever, and this translates to the production management system. Second, they must incorporate technological developments that came along with the fourth industrial revolution, including dedicated industrial artificial intelligence (AI) and data science services, in order to leverage the added value lying in Big Data and support digitally driven manufacturing processes. In Quality Control, for instance, the aim of zero defects and no downgrades can be approached by enhanced process and product insight paired with the capability of fast, smart, and sustainable reactions, including online prediction and prescription, transparently executed. In Production Planning, work-in-progress (WIP) material residence times in stockyards and manufacturing lead times could be predicted by dedicated machine learning services, while smart autonomous agents could automatically adjust planned production schedules based on such results. Yet, to support such capabilities, production management systems must allow metals producers to model their business processes in workflows and integrate plug-and-play services. They demand collaboration between independent solutions, real-time visibility through embedded analytics, business logic configurability and the possibility of scope extensions via low-code approach. All of this needs to be supported by automated deployments, regardless if on-premise or in the cloud, and seamless upgrades ensuring minimal downtime during upgrade processes. Last but not least, they must provide state-of-art encryption mechanisms and resilience to cybersecurity threats. This paper explores the IT infrastructure and business process management functions that a metals production management system 4.0 must provide, to plainly support and leverage the promises of the industrial internet revolution.
