In NKK Fukuyama Works, the plate production is controlled by two business computers, IBM 370's and a process computer TOSBAC 7000. Order collating transmitted from the Head Office, adjusting rolling order, deciding slab size, heat charge arrangement, directing slab roll, plate rolling and cutting, estimating the result of inspection, contracting plate identification, analizing technical level, etc. are taken charge of by two IBM 370's. TOSBAC 7000 computes the pass schedule of roughing and finishing mills and controlls the automatic operation.
By introducing the computer system like this, it has become rapid and correct to conduct plenty of business, besides the removal of restrictions on time has made possible a more minute rolling schedule, and the improved quality of the products has resulted.
