The Level 2 process automation for cold rolling mills is the link between the basic automation and customers product planning system (Level 3/ERP). This is a powerful tool for storing and configuring the production schedule and calculation of pass schedules and flatness presettings. It also assists the operator with the general handling of the product and process data by providing graphical visualization and reporting. With the Storage Management function paper coils, sleeves, etc. are handled. This includes drive commands for cranes.
