Solution

The city of Galati is best known as the industrial powerhouse of Romania. Among the city's industrial establishments, the steel factory plays an especially significant role in the nation's economic development, since steel is widely used in many infrastructures throughout the country. To ensure maximum productivity and best quality of steel production, transportation of steel materials from one stage to another must be performed in a timely and reliable manner, requiring effective control of conveyer belt automation.

With ORing's state-of-the-art Ethernet switches and device, communications among conveyor belt PLCs, management PCs, and data servers are guaranteed to be swift and uninterrupted, thanks to ruggedness of ORing products coupled with ORing's advanced redundancy technologies (O-Ring, redundant power inputs, etc.). In the control center, PLC management is effective and user-friendly, thanks to ORing's powerful network management utility — Open-Vision. By optimizing information flow of steel production in Galati City, ORing is helping economic development in Romania.
