Our company in cooperation with company GMC Swiss Engineers provided upgrade of two Vacuum Degassing plants for Baosteel, the biggest Chinese steelmaker. Project was realized from November 2013 to February 2014 in Baosteel Special Steel Branch, Shanghai, China.

The work of our specialists was programming and commissioning of control system (based on Simatic S7-300) for mechanical vacuum pumps, degassing line with filter and new heat protection for sealing on lid. Our work included also new HMI system (Wonderware InTouch) and modification of existing PLCs.

In the transport sector is our company since mid-2013 in cooperation with Eltodo dopravní systémy s.r.o. involved in the works associated with the construction of the longest tunnel in the Czech Republic.

We provide technical assistance in the development and commissioning of the control system Siemens Simatic S7-400 especially in the field of air-conditioning (main tunnel ventilation, ventilation of the auxiliary spaces, fire ventilation), water management (sewage water, water seepage, drainage, water supply system), traffic signs (signs and traffic control, barriers, information systems, light signaling devices).

Our company ASM Automation obtained project for the Austrian steelmaker Breitenfeld AG.

The work of our specialists is the upgrade of existing control system based on Siemens Simatic Slot PLC System Siemens Simatic S7-400 and WinCC visualization v7.0. Upgrade relates to Ladle furnace 1 and 2, Alloying and Vacuum furnaces. Implementation date is August 2013.

In May 2013 one of our specialists in cooperation with PIKE AUTOMATION spol. s r.o. provided support for L1 at creating of data exchange with the superior system in the rolling mill in India. Staple part of the work was training of the PLC programmers about using of the ready data structures and their application in the control algorithm. With the assistance of specialists for L2 was realized synchronization communication and basic test run data exchange.

At the conclusion was debugging (tested by simulation) and sample application prepared transfer functions in defined transition points.

At the end of 2012, our company ASM Automation in collaboration with longtime partner, company PIKE AUTOMATION spol. s r.o. started a project called: Twin Shell DC EAF + MHS for the customer ASCO - Arab Steel Company from Saudi Arabia.

We are engaged in the commissioning of automatic welding lines for internal welding of side frames bodywork of new car models. Pressings are welded together by using a programmed robot by spot welding technology in precisely defined locations. The work of our staff consists mainly of the development of PLC software, which is accompanied also by generating and modifying visualizations for control lines from the control panel.

Since the series production of the first model of cars is already running, the software development is focused on the other two models, which are planned to weld.

In the period from 25th to 28th September 2012 our company participated in the important conference entitled 10th European Electric Steelmaking Conference 2012 in Graz, Austria.

The aim of the conference was to provide a forum for information transfer of the latest techniques and applications in electric furnace steelmaking area. The conference program included the following aspects of the steelmaking industry, in particular:

PLC programmers from our company worked in mid-2012 on a project for automobile manufacturer ŠKODA AUTO a.s.

The work of our PLC programmers took place at three production facilities:
