关于客户
北方钢铁公司是全球领先的垂直整合钢铁及钢铁相关矿业公司之一，资产遍布俄罗斯、拉脱维亚、乌克兰、波兰、意大利和利比里亚。该公司拥有约 61,000 名员工，2013 年营收达 133.1 亿美元。过去七年来，北方钢铁公司已在俄罗斯建立了最大的 SAP ERP 环境之一，支持其采矿和钢铁部门的规划、生产和工厂维护等运营流程。SAP 环境不断发展以满足新的业务需求。例如，今年，北方钢铁公司引入了 SAP Advanced Planner 和 Optimizer 进行供应链管理，并引入了 SAP Mobile Platform，让员工可以随时随地访问 SAP 应用程序。明年，该公司还计划引入 SAP 供应商关系管理。
挑战
Severstal 是全球领先的垂直整合钢铁及钢铁相关矿业公司之一，过去七年来，该公司在俄罗斯建立了最大的 SAP ERP 环境之一。SAP 环境不断发展以满足新的业务需求，例如引入 SAP Advanced Planner 和 Optimizer 进行供应链管理，以及引入 SAP Mobile Platform 以便随时随地访问 SAP 应用程序。然而，引入这些新功能、增加用户群和深入了解运营都是有代价的。SAP 环境中的数据量正在迅速增加，性能开始受到影响。Severstal 面临的挑战是设计一个可扩展的存储环境以满足其未来需求，同时避免更换所有现有存储系统的费用。
解决方案
Severstal 决定与 IBM 合作构建更智能的存储环境。该解决方案使用 IBM System Storage® SAN Volume Controller 创建单个虚拟化存储“池”，其中包括 Severstal 现有的存储系统，并引入了 IBM FlashSystem V840。两个 IBM Real-time Compression Appliance™ 解决方案用于在备份期间压缩公司的数据，从而释放了以前用于 SAP 数据、Oracle、VMware 和公司电子邮件系统的大量空间。IBM Tivoli® Storage Manager 用于管理存储环境的分层。它会自动将较旧、不太重要或不常访问的文件移动到成本较低、容量较大的存储上，并管理公司的备份和恢复。IBM FlashSystem 平台的全闪存阵列为 Severstal 的 SAP 应用程序生成的数据密集型工作负载提供了极高的吞吐量。

Continuous Casting Machines in a Steel Factory
With a very broad range of applications, steel is an important material and has been developed into the most extensive alloy in the engineering world. Since delivering high quality is absolutely crucial for steel plants, ensuring maximum productivity and the best quality production are the keys to competitiveness in the steel industry. Additionally, working conditions in steel factories are not suitable for workers to stay in for long periods of time, so manufactures usually adopt various machines to complete the steel production processes. However, the precision of these machines is often overestimated and the lack of flexibility also makes supervisors unable to adjust operating procedures. A renowned steel factory in Asia planned to improve its Distributed Control System (DCS) of furnaces as well as addressing the problem of insufficient accuracy. However, most well-known international equipment suppliers can not provide a satisfactory solution and local maintenance because the project needed new technologies to more accurately control equipment operations. By implementing Advantech’s automated monitoring and control solution, steel factories can not only improve the manufacturing processes but can also allow users to add additional functions to the existing system so as to make sure the operation runs at high efficiency.
