Automation systems are vital for open and closed-loop controls of plants. They not only ensure the efficiency of manufacturing processes, but also determine the quality of the products made on the metallurgical plants. Crucial here is that operators have the necessary know-how to use the available control functions effectively. They must also be able to adjust the plant running behavior to account for its age as well as changing production requirements.
