SteelPlanner MES
The SteelPlanner System includes the major, steel-industry specific, functional applications depicted in the figure below. The system is the critical integrating layer between the commercial and administrative functions usually implemented on the Corporate Level 4 and the process-specific automation systems on Level 2.
