ALUMINIUM RoLLINg INDUSTRY können mittels „neuronaler Netze“ Modelle gebildet werden, die selbstlernend die Energiedaten interpretieren. Mit deren Hilfe lässt sich der Energieverbrauch abbilden und für die Zukunft vorhersagen. Eine verlässliche Vorhersage des Energiebedarfs hilft den Energieversorgern, auf Bedarfsschwankungen zu reagieren und dies durch günstigere Tarife zu honorieren. Alternativ können die gewonnenen Informationen für eine individuelle Beschaffungsstrategie genutzt und der Strom direkt auf dem Energiemarkt eingekauft werden.

That puts consumption and production in relation to each other and supplies key performance indicators. In turn, these indicators calculated from different measured values make it possible to compare plants or situations. If analysts do not want production data or conditions shown quantitatively in key performance indicators, they use curves instead. A curve takes account of the fact that under certain circumstances in the production process the key performance indicators can have different values. For example at high capacity utilisation, lower energy consumption per product unit can be achieved than during periods of low production. Combining key performance indicators with the variables means similar conditions can be compared and the various plant situations usefully evaluated. Furthermore, SMS Siemag is currently developing a prediction tool. Based on already saved energy data, production data and the future production plan, the tool uses ‘neuronal networks’ and self-learning to generate models that interpret the energy data. It can be used to map and predict energy consumption. A reliable prediction of energy demand helps energy utilities react to fluctuations in demand and offer cheaper tariffs. Alternatively, the information gained can be used for an individual sourcing strategy for direct purchasing of electricity on the energy market.

Danieli Aluminium Technology Forum 2013 Latest breakthrough technology in industrial operation B. Rieth, Meerbusch This year’s Technology Forum by Danieli was very much focused on the processing of aluminium. In a two-day symposium held at its headquarters in Buttrio in northern Italy, around 150 invited guests from the international aluminium industry were presented with the company’s latest developments in the sectors of rolling and processing high-grade aluminium strips and plates, extruding profiles and roll-casting aluminium rod. Other topics of the presentations were plant automation and drive technology as well as know-how support and servicing. The successful event was rounded off by a tour of Danieli’s workshops and – as a particular highlight – a joint flight of the participants to Belgium to see the cold rolling mill supplied by Danieli Fröhling for automobile strips to Aleris in Duffel. The participants, from 73 companies in 36 countries, were given interesting insights during the event into Danieli’s latest technologies for a broad segment of the aluminium value chain. © Danieli Gianpietro Benedetti, chairman and CEO of Danieli & C. … In his welcoming address Danieli chairman and CEO Gianpietro Benedetti laid stress on the leading role his company has played for many years in the development of the most modern technologies for the metallurgical industry, that is the production and processing of steel and NF metals. The globally active company founded by the brothers Danieli in 1914 has meanwhile become the nucleus of a worldwide network of highly specialised companies in the sector of plant and machinery engineering, each with various core interests and each a market leader in its own field. With an annual turnover of some three billion euros … and Franco Alzetta, COO of Danieli & C. during their opening addresses and more than 10,000 employees worldwide, Danieli is today one of the largest plant engineering groups in the metallurgical sector. In past years the core products of the group and hence also its main expertise and growth performance were governed almost exclusively by steel. However, the market downturns seen by steel in the more recent past, 54 ALUMINIUM · 11/2013
