Delay Recording System
Delay Recording System
The BSE Delay Recording System (DRS) is a process analysis tool for steel plants that don’t have a Level 2 automation system yet.
It is operated by the operator at the furnace and helps in the fight against delay times, thus providing a huge potential for productivity increase.
FUNCTIONS
- Definition of standard setup times and delay code system reflecting the time balance of the process
- Accurate time measurement based on automatic process signals
- At each power-off the DRS requests the operator to enter a specific delay code
- The code system with finite number of codes allows classification and precise documentation of main setup and delay times (and causes)
- Automatic generation of statistics and reports
- Process optimization based on standardised reporting
ADVANTAGES
- Process optimization based on standardised reporting
- Reduction of delays provides a huge potential for productivity increase
- Allocation of (and creation of awareness for) small but frequent delays
- Increase of transparency and consistency
- Easiest possible handling enables the operator to focus on the process
- Multi language support
EXPERIENCES
- Operating since 2000 at BSW – Germany
- World-wide satisfied customers using such system
