Steelmaking routes
Steelmaking plants follow different production routes, each with its own process logic, equipment and metallurgical objectives.
TDE™ reflects this reality through dedicated modules for carbon steel and stainless steelmaking, each available in Offline, DSS and Online Digital Twin configurations.
A modular approach to carbon steelmaking
Carbon steel production involves process stages with distinct thermal, chemical and metallurgical characteristics.
TDE™ is structured as a modular environment that can support each major unit of the route with dedicated process logic, rather than forcing a single generic supervisory model across all stages.
This allows each module to reflect the actual behavior of the process it is assigned to, while still fitting into a broader plant automation and decision-support architecture.
A modular approach to stainless steelmaking
Stainless steel production involves process stages with highly specific thermal, chemical and metallurgical requirements.
TDE™ is structured as a modular environment that supports each major unit of the stainless steel route through dedicated process logic, rather than applying a single generic supervisory model to all stages.
This approach allows each module to reflect the actual behavior of the process it serves, while remaining compatible with broader plant automation and digitalization strategies.
