Synopsis :
A process computer system installed at the finishing line of the medium-diameter seamless pipe mill of Chiba Works not only controls the entire finishing line even covering automatic warehouse and conveyor systems, but also serves for a high-level quality assurance by controlling the flow of pipes in multiple types and small lots. To this end, the process computer is equipped with a high-reliability piece tracking system and a pipe flow control system which uses several models based on evaluation coefficient, with the soundness of these models having been verified by computer simulations. The system largely contributes to improvements in quality assurance, productivity, and labor saving.
