An integrated steelmaking and casting control system has been launched online at VALIN Hengyang in China’s Hunan Province.

Based on the CISDigital® industrial internet platform, it has created a digital Mini-Mill consisting of 18 main units - electric arc furnaces, ladle furnaces, vacuum degassers and continuous casters and 14 auxiliary facilities (dust collection and water treatment systems) at VALIN’s melting plants 1 and 2.

It’s an important showcase of CISDI’s smart melting expertise in special steel production.
