Steel & Rolling Mills

Steel and rolling mills, delay by delay.

Every delay timestamped as it happens, mill pace against best demonstrated per section, energy per tonne rolled, and predictive maintenance for stands, gearboxes, shears and coilers.

What this floor loses today

Delays reconstructed from memory are delays you will repeat.

Delays

Delay accounting by memory

Cobbles, roll changes, furnace waits, reconstructed at shift end. Every delay timestamped as it happens instead.

Energy

₹ per tonne, unknown

Reheating is the biggest bill. Energy per tonne rolled, per section, per shift: measured, not estimated.

Pace

Mill pace drift

Tonnes per hour drifts with crews and sections. Pace against best demonstrated, live on the pulpit screen.

Your numbers

What are your mill delays worth?

Delay minutes turn into tonnes not rolled at your normal pace.

Each delay type has its own fix: roll changes, cobbles, furnace waits. Timestamped reasons tell you which one pays first.

Questions

Straight answers.

How does MachineWise help a rolling mill?
It timestamps every delay with a reason, shows tonnes per hour against best demonstrated per section, measures energy per tonne rolled, and predicts failures on stands, gearboxes, shears and coilers.
Can delays be captured at the pulpit?
Yes. Delays are detected automatically and the reason is tagged at the pulpit or the nearest screen, so the delay log is built during the shift, not after it.
Can it monitor large mill gearboxes?
Yes. Stage-wise vibration on input, intermediate and output shafts gives weeks of warning; see large gearbox monitoring.
Does it track energy per tonne?
Yes. Energy per tonne rolled is tracked per section and shift from the mill's energy meters, including the reheating furnace.
