Press releases
To address the limitations of legacy hard-
ware and unsupported software compo-
nents, the new system runs in a virtualized
server environment based on SMS’s X
Pact® real time technology. This significant-
ly reduces the risk of system failure, elimi-
nates single point hardware dependencies,
and safeguards long-term maintainability
with an open source operating system and
database components.
The migration to CARTA®neo SRM was car-
ried out during Benteler’s scheduled annual
shutdown to avoid any unplanned down-
times. During commissioning, SMS per-
formed regular tests, updates, and custom-
er-specific optimizations, while production
continued with minimal disruption.
The upgrade also allowed for a redesign of
the SRM motor-control strategy. The new
approach reduces load peaks on the drives,
minimizes unnecessary load cycles, im-
proves coordination with the downstream
flying saw, and enhances process stability
at higher tube speeds.
The CARTA®neo SRM system upgrade in-
cludes a long-term system service package,
including remote maintenance, trouble-
shooting, software updates, and customer
specific customizations. This ensures the
system remains secure, up to date, and
ready for future system expansion.
The successful completion of the project
reflects the long standing partnership
between BENTELER and SMS. Both compa-
nies will continue to collaborate closely on
further digitalization and process optimiza-
tion initiatives.
