ROLL MANAGEMENT

The Challenge

The Roll Management system tracks the complete life cycle of rolls in a hot rolling mill. This task is complex because it involves a connection to the underlying automation to acquire the tons being accumulated, checking gap measurements and keeping track of what rolls/stands and grooves are being used while at the same time manage all the events that are generated in the roll shop itself.
