CONTROL IN STEEL: Dissemination and valorisation of RFCS-results in the field of “Advanced Automation and Control Solutions in Downstream Steel Processes” and development of a strategic vision for future research.

  • Project category Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS)
  • Lab/Research Area TeCIP of Institute PERCRO Laboratory
  • Expected funding €83 300
  • Costo complessivo €83 300
  • Project partner RINA CONSULTING - CENTRO SVILUPPO MATERIALI SPA (CSM SPA)
  • Project partner UNIVERSIDAD POLITECNICA DE MADRID (UPM)
  • Principal investigator VDEH-BETRIEBSFORSCHUNGSINSTITUT GMBH (BFI)
  • SSSA involvement Partner
  • Sponsor Commissione Europea

Disseminating RFCS project results regarding Advanced Automation and Control in Downstream Steel Processing, the proposal aims to maximize the impact of 46 research projects. 

After a previous dissemination project covering automation in secondary-metallurgy, a dedicated project valorising advanced control techniques throughout the solid phase was urgently needed. 

Dissemination will present existing project results to broad audience, including workshops on European level performed together with ESTEP (European Steel Technology Platform).

The project evaluates used techniques, achieved impacts and the potential of transfer in a scientific way. Based on this evaluation, directions for future research will be identified and summarized in a guidance document.
