TMEIC in the Metals IndustryWorldwide Experience with all Types of Metals ProductsThe TMEIC team has been building advanced process control systems for the metals industry for over 100 years. Wehave engineered systems for all types of mills, and we have experience rolling a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrousproducts including:• Plates• Bar and rod• Strip• Galvanized products• Beams• Coated and painted productsTMEIC Covers the GlobeTMEIC has supplied thousands of drive systems around the world; some of our metals customers are listed below.The Americas Europe & Africa Asia Japan & PacificAlgomaAceros PianosAlcanAlcoaAHMSAAPMCalifornia SteelCSH (Talcahuano)CSNCSTDofascoFerrous MetalsIPSCOJ & LLake Erie SteelMittal USANorth American StainlessNovelisNS BluescopeNUCOROABPhelps DodgeSeverCorrSeverstalSicartsaSteel DynamicsStelcoUPI (USS/POSCO)US SteelWeirton SteelWise AlloysAcroniAcineroxArcelorCorusErdemirGalva MetalHelenic SteelHoogovensHuta BatoryHuta CzestochowaHuta KatowiceILVAISCORMagreb TubesMMK (Magnitogorsk)RIVASeverstalSollacSSABTerniAn FengAnshangAnyangAsia AluminumBao SteelBenxiChina SteelCSACDHCEssarHandanHangzhouJen AnLian Yuan SteelMaSteelMeishanNanshan AluminumSouthwest AluminumPanzhihuaPoscoShougangShaoguanSiam Strip MillTaiyuanTangshanTonghuaUnion SteelWuhanYich PhuiAichi SteelALCOMBluescope SteelChubu KohanDaido SteelFurukawaHitachi DensenJFE SteelJLPKawasaki SteelKobe SteelMitsubishi Special MetalNakayama SteelNASCONew Zealand SteelNihon Kinzoku KogyoNikkeiNippon SteelNissin SeikoNisshinseko KureSanyo Special SteelSumitomoTokyo SteelToyo KohanPage 2 of 40© 2011 TMEIC Corporation.

Why Our Systems Set Production RecordsThe advanced features of the TMEIC automation systemallow operation of the mill at a higher rate, often settingproduction records. In addition, we produce higherquality product, based on the superior control featuresSystem Features and Benefitsand physical models developed by our experienced metalsengineering team. The main factors providing this superiormill performance are outlined below.Superior Control Features Result in Higher ThroughputThe metals engineering team has developed advanced control schemes for mill operations resultingin higher mill speeds and the setting of production records.Q rad Q convAccurate Physical Models Result in a Higher Quality ProductAccurate level 2 models based on the physical processes in the rolling operation, use advancedtechniques such as finite element analysis. Models cover heat transfer, plastic deformation, millforce, and mill setup, resulting in improved control and higher quality product.The Engineering Team is World ClassThe metals engineering team has many years of mill experience and has built this extensive knowhowinto the automation system and the system engineering process.The Commissioning Engineers Know the Metals IndustryThe commissioning engineers have years of experience in the mills and are familiar with the millmachinery and the variable speed drive systems used in automation.Micro-Tracking Allows Higher SpeedsData on the micro-tracking list is gathered and tracked at a periodic interval of approximately 25 mm,or a fixed time, resulting in better control accuracy and improved product quality.Simple, Scalable, Open Architecture Brings Lower Cost of OwnershipThe open control architecture uses standard controllers, computers, software, and communicationinterfaces, allowing easy expansion with additional commercially available hardware and software,resulting in a lower system life-time costs.S S S Fewer Sensors Reduce CostsUsing advanced control features, the system requires fewer sensors, resulting in lower initial costand life-time maintenance cost, with an increase in ROI.+X_Unified Engineering Tools Simplify MaintenanceUnified engineering tools for configuring and tuning drives and controllers result in fastercommissioning and simplified maintenance.Robust System Diagnostics Increases AvailabilityIn-depth system diagnostics built into the engineering tools, along with the option to use remotediagnostic services, increase system availability.© 2011 TMEIC Corporation.
