Berlin, July 16, 2024 – Following a long and careful selection process, Aluminium Norf GmbH (Alunorf) has awarded PSI Metals, with the replacement and modernization of its legacy Production Management System. The implementation will include the PSImetals modules Production Liquid and Solid, Quality as well as Energy Services and the Level 2 and Level 4 integration.
The solutions will be used in the entire production processes, from melting to cold-rolled and slit coils. The order was placed via the PSI Marketplace (former PSI App Store) to provide Alunorf with full transparency of all purchased licenses, services, and amendments.
In order to meet future requirements, Alunorf will be equipped with a product-based modern system. This will further enhance an easy integration with partner systems through standardized interfaces and ensure better production forecast analysis. Based on the PSImetals Service Platform, Alunorf will get the possibility to develop their own services to enhance the system with special solutions.
During the signing of the contract in Neuss, Germany, Thomas Jaskulski, Manager IT at Alunorf said: “We trust that PSI has the experience and resources to deliver such a project on time and in budget. The collaboration during the project study phase showed that both teams of Alunorf and PSI can work together very efficiently and collaboratively.”
