More Efficient Steel Production with the EU Project ProcTwin
The ProcTwin project, funded by the EU and coordinated by the Metals Research Institute Swerim, has now been launched. The project aims to make steel production more efficient by combining process data, innovative sensor techniques, and digital twins of interconnected process steps.
The aggregated data will be centralized on a secure platform for use with distributed machine learning. It is a unique project where separate process steps are intertwined to enhance process knowledge and enable proactive measures to increase yield.
"In the project, we will develop a demonstration platform to visualize material properties and provide steel producers with a tool to test alternative process parameters," says project manager Johan Lindwall, Swerim.
The four-year ProcTwin project is driven by 12 European partners with Swerim at the forefront. Participants include steel producers SSAB Special Steel and the CELSA Group company Global Steel Wire, as well as Swedish participants the University of Skövde and Prevas. In addition, research performers from Germany, Spain, and Austria and the industry organisation Estep in Belgium are involved.
The project is funded by Horizon Europe with project number 101178721.
