CISDI wins more intelligence orders with WISCO

—— Upstream-blast furnace and flats hot rolling centralised control centers boosts best in class products

CISDI has won two EPC orders for WISCO’s intelligent integrated control centre.

The Chinese company will create an upstream-blast furnace and a flats hot-rolling centralised control centre for WISCO in Wuhan.

The core production base of Baowu Group, WISCO has embarked on a journey of intelligent and green steel manufacturing.

The BF control centre will focus on transforming steel production to digital and intelligent processes.

Costs and energy consumption will be reduced. An integrated big data platform controlling the production from stockyard to ironmaking will enable more intensive production and increase management efficiency.

The flats hot-rolling control centre emphasising on steel product quality control will be the first of its kind in the world for flat steel production.

WISCO’s 2,250mm and 1,580mm hot strip mills will be managed by the centralised control centre. The operation of both rolling lines will be coordinated and their operation, control and management will become more efficient.

In addition, the production of high-end flats will become more stable and efficient and result in better-quality product.

CISDI is utlising the experience its teams gained during the completion of a centralised control centre for Shaogang’s upstream-BF plants, the first of its kind in the world for ironmaking. And it is now building a centralised control centre for Shaogang’s wire rod and bar mill, which will be a world first for long steel production.

CISDI has been a long-term service provider for WISCO. In the 1970s, its teams took part in the supportive design and imported engineering management of WISCO’s 1,700mm hot strip mill. CISDI then went on to plan and design WISCO’s 2,250mm and 1,580mm hot strip mills. 

Shaogang’s upstream-BF intelligent integrated control centre, built by CISDI on an EPC basis, has now been started up
