Optimize Yield, Throughput and Inventory

SST Long Product Scheduler

Productivity, Stability, Efficiency

The SST Long Product Scheduler is a scheduling software perfectly tailored for long product steel mills. It covers a wide range of features, starting from production forecasting over rolling and casting schedules to automated and optimized creation of cut patterns / trimming. It is a comprehensive scheduling solution which covers every feature needed for the planning inside a long product mill. It includes production forecasting, casting, rolling and combined schedule creation, and cut optimization of blooms and beams. 

Simplified visualization of examplary long products

A key complexity of long product steel mills is handling the variety of different profiles and sizes (as displayed in a simplified way below). SST aims to schedule these very efficiently with focus on ensuring maximum throughput, minimizing transitions and yield loss while utilizing the inventory in the process. With the automated approach the scheduling is much quicker and sales teams are able to accept new orders closer to the production date than they have been before.
