PLC Retrofit & Integration for Steel Melt Shops

Why Retrofit Legacy PLC Systems?

Many plants are stuck with "black box" automation — perfectly good mechanical equipment, but no data flows. We integrate directly with your existing PLC controllers to pull raw tag data (temperatures, power, pressure, speed) into the SmeltSync dashboard.

What we integrate:

• Furnace PLCs: Capture tap-to-tap cycle data, power consumption, and peak temperatures.
• AOD Converters: Log blow times and chemical refinement stages automatically.
• CCM Strands: Monitor casting speeds and cooling water temperatures, cross-referencing them against the heat number in real time.

Benefit: You get the insights of a modern, integrated plant at a fraction of the cost of new mechanical automation.
