Celsa Nervacero is now using Mill Pulse® suite to help manage plant production

Mill Pulse®, the industrial management software designed by Russula with leading technology to improve the steel mill’s efficiency and production management, is now up and running at Celsa Nervacero's plant in Vizcaya, Spain.

The tool has been adapted to the customer’s needs, who now has a single suite for production management and downtime control. Mill Pulse® allows complete traceability of the plant's production, from the raw material and rolling process to the labeling of the finished product. The system was implemented to manage the manufacturing of the plant's different product ranges (spoolers and bars). In addition, Mill Pulse® provides daily and customized reports that allow better decision making and optimize production and work efficiency.

Mill Pulse® suite

Celsa Nervacero is currently running the Production Management and Scheduling and Delays Tracking modules. In the coming months, the implementation of Mill Pulse® will continue with the Roll Shop, Mill Setup, Maintenance and Quality modules. This extension will allow, in a single tool, the management and planning of the workshop activities (internal and external), the organization of product changes, preventive maintenance and automatic data acquisition from the plant quality area equipment.

Russula's Mill Pulse® is already implemented in two other Celsa Group plants: Celsa Atlantic in Laracha, Spain and Celsa France Bouucau-Tarnos. In addition, Russula's MES system is currently under development at Gerdau's plant in Charqueadas and at Liberty wire and rod mill in Peoria.
