Intelligent Scheduling System of Steelmaking and Continuous Casting Based On ERP/MES/PCS

This paper briefly introduced the applying state of CIMS both in the domestic and international iron and steel corporations. In the large iron and steel corporation of China constructing CIMS, a project was put forward about steelmaking and continuous casting (SCC) production scheduling, optimal assignment of ladle, crane and trolley harmonization scheduling. The structure, the function and the main interface of schedule system was described based on ERP/MES/PCS, and an intelligent scheduling system (ISS) was developed independently, which is with the characteristic of easy integration and celerity. It has been shown that the plan proposed is rational and feasible by actual production data, and may have popularized value in the same trade
