H igh temperatures, molten metal and heavy loads − steel production puts a lot of stress on both man and machine. So it is only natural that safety and availability are the top priorities for steel plant managers. Not only to prevent potentially deadly accidents from hap- pening but also to make sure that production in an extremely competitive landscape never stops. For that you need robust measurement equipment that provides reliable data as well as smart control solutions. 1,63 mil. tonnes of crude steel were produced worldwide in 2016. This is an increase by 0,8% compared to 2015 according to the World Steel Association.
