Together, the two plants produce more than 150,000 tpy of billets for the Central European market. The plants are continuously optimized to increase production capacity, safety standards and energy efficiency. 

Casthouse Scheduler improves production planning and reduces costs

“With PSImetals Casthouse Scheduler, we achieve higher transparency, speed and punctuality. At the same time, production costs are reduced. With the new planning tool, we are able to set and view all KPIs necessary for the production planning. It also enables harmonized collaboration between the sales and production teams. This is an important step towards digitalizing our processes,” says Gerhard Anger, managing director of Alu-met.

Digitization creates more transparency

Frank Hildebrandt, plant manager at Alu-met, adds: “Through its integrated planning based on Qualicision, the new Casthouse Scheduler helps us to define an organized sequence of our production planning. Our team was able to manage the rollout of the solution at the Austrian site on its own. The digitalization of our production planning process creates significantly improved transparency of our processes and ensure a higher production efficiency.”
