Products and Services for the Iron and Steel Industry
From Our Core Measurement and Control Technology, A Range of Solutions from Products to Maintenance Services
In response to changes in the business environment, companies in the iron and steel industry face increasingly complex challenges as they act to make operations more reliable, to conserve energy, to strengthen safety measures, and to maintain equipment. Azbil, with its core competency in advanced measurement and control technology, supplies the needed solutions. In the future too, we intend to continue working together with our customers to create value, providing assistance ranging from product solutions to post-installation maintenance services.
- Tools and strategies for a changing business environment:
Our comprehensive solutions combine production control systems, component products, other products, and the engineering skills that we have acquired in a wide range of markets. We support customers by creating the high added value needed to beat the international competition and achieve low costs, high quality, and high efficiency. - Safer and more secure operations:
We support safe operations and business continuity management (BCM) by helping customers to develop carefully considered comprehensive systems that reflect the standpoint of workers in the field and prevent the occurrence of accidents. These systems incorporate our solutions for iron and steel plant safety and security, which we expect to be increasingly important in the future. - Energy efficiency:
With our wealth of experience amassed over many years in the factory, plant, and building fields, and based on the results of our ongoing research activities, we "visualize" and optimize the enormous amounts of energy used by iron and steel works.
Solutions for the Iron and Steel Industry
