Oven automation & SCADA
A particular focus of our work lies in the automation of reheating furnaces for hot rolling mills . These systems place the highest demands on temperature accuracy, energy efficiency, safety, and system availability .
Our engineers have proven experience in international industrial projects.
We work closely with local technicians, plant engineers and international project teams, and take responsibility until successful plant acceptance.
