Ansteel Group

Customer Introduction

Ansteel Group Co., Ltd. is a state-owned large-scale steel joint venture directly managed by the central government. It is a large-scale steel joint venture and an early built steel production base that was restored and constructed in New China. We have enterprises such as Pangang Group Co., Ltd., Benxi Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd., and Ansteel Lianzhong (Guangzhou) Stainless Steel Co., Ltd. In 2023, Ansteel Group ranked third in the world's major steel companies with a production of 55.89 million tons according to the World Steel Association, occupying an important position in the Chinese steel industry.

Faced with challenges

 there is a serious waste of computing resources : a large number of upper computer resources have low utilization rates, the performance of many devices has not been fully exploited, and a large amount of computing resources are idle, resulting in significant waste and invisibly increasing operating costs without generating matching benefits.

Complex and inefficient operation and maintenance : In the traditional mode, each terminal device needs to be independently operated, from system installation, software updates to hardware maintenance, which consumes a lot of labor costs. Especially when there are a large number of devices, the complexity of operation and maintenance work increases exponentially, seriously affecting production efficiency.

High data security risk : Data is stored in various terminals and lacks a unified and effective control mechanism. Once the terminal device malfunctions, is lost, or is subjected to malicious attacks, data is easily leaked or damaged, causing incalculable losses to the enterprise.

Poor system synergy : The systems used by different production processes and business departments are independent of each other, forming a "data island". It is difficult to achieve data sharing and collaborative work between systems, resulting in poor information flow, increased communication costs when collaborating across departments, and low decision-making efficiency.

Solution

After Ansteel Group introduced Juchen Industrial Cloud Desktop and Distributed Agent System, it effectively solved the pain points of previously wasted computing resources and inefficient management and operation. Industrial cloud desktop integrates computing resources through virtualization technology, improves utilization, and reduces operating costs; The distributed agent system breaks down data barriers between systems, promotes information sharing and cross departmental collaboration, and accelerates decision response.

In the Chaoyang Iron and Steel Centralized Control Center of Ansteel Group, Juchen Industrial Cloud Desktop has achieved unified management of multi process terminal equipment such as steelmaking and rolling. Staff can access the required systems and data through lightweight terminals, reducing the investment and maintenance costs of on-site hardware equipment; The distributed agent system integrates data from different business systems such as production scheduling and quality monitoring, allowing personnel in various positions to access related information in real time, greatly improving the efficiency of production exception handling.

In the energy centralized control center of Ansteel Group, Juchen Industrial Cloud Desktop has helped build a stable and secure remote operation and maintenance environment. Operation and maintenance personnel can remotely operate and maintain the energy monitoring system to ensure stable system operation; The distributed agent system has opened up the transmission channel of energy data, enabling real-time sharing of energy consumption data, helping managers comprehensively grasp energy dynamics, and providing strong support for energy optimization scheduling and energy-saving decisions.

Customer Revenue

The operation and maintenance efficiency has been significantly improved: The centralized operation and maintenance management mode supports remote handling of various faults, without the need to rush to the site. Repair and backup system switching can be completed within a few minutes, greatly reducing the risk of production interruption and effectively ensuring the continuity of Ansteel's production. Comprehensive enhancement of data security for

Comprehensive enhancement of data security: data is stored in a hyper converged cluster, reducing dependence on terminal hardware; By unifying the management and allocation of personnel permissions and security protection policies, we can effectively reduce security vulnerabilities and enhance the security of production data.

Resource utilization is becoming more optimized: uses virtualization technology to integrate hardware, network, and storage resources into a virtual resource pool, and the management side can flexibly allocate resources, which not only improves device utilization but also reduces unnecessary hardware procurement costs.

Cross job collaboration is efficient: The distributed agent system breaks information silos, achieves data fusion and sharing among various business systems, and enables real-time linkage of production scheduling, quality monitoring, and other positions to handle exceptions. It also provides data support for energy management and decision-making.
