The Development of a Rolling Technology Development Platform

The rolling production lines in steel industry have been rapidly updated and expanded in recent years in order to improve production capacity. To efficiently solve process problems of each production line within limited time, a rolling technology development platform was developed by China Steel Corporation (CSC). This platform has several main features to speed up rolling technology development between each production line, such as data unification, easy-to-manage database, integrated information query interface and template-based application development framework. As a result, various successful applications are achieved by using this platform and the product quality in CSC was tremendously improved.
