This module allows the users to manage the information referent to the mill physic structure, such as; line, module, equipment, part, failure and responsible.
The information of the mill structure is necessary to report the different failures or scheduled stops in the mill operation trough the tracking module and identify the zone with the problem and the responsible of the same.
This module also administrates the crews calendar where is created the crew roll month by month.

This module allows the creation, month by month, of the role of crews per shift for the rolling mill. Therefore, the KPIs that are generated make it possible to measure the performance and balance of each crew according to their results.

This module (Steel grades) is the responsible of administrating the information about the steel grades available for rolling in the mill. Also, control all the values concerning to the steel grades and the characteristics of the billets that are delivered by the melt-shop to the billet yard, such as:

• Steel grade
• Chemistry analysis
• Steel grade applications
• Steel family
• Finals length
• Final section
• Standard weight
• Density

Allow to users manage the information of the final products that will be rolled in the mill, controlling the different variables applicable to the manufacturing process like:

• Rolling speed (Ton/Hrs)
• Gap
• Steel grade
• Nominal measure
• Steel type
• Specification
• Steel family
• Billet code
• Billet standard weight
• Meter-weight
• Mechanical properties
• Metallic yield
• Productive time

The Billet Yard Inventory module, manage and keep updated the inventory of the billets yard. With precise information of reception, location, changing location, existence and outputs of material.

The MCS Module is a powerful tool, allow to the users to create, receive, sequence and see the status of the production orders.
The production orders are separated by production programs; the production programs are created by month.

The Charging Grill module is designed to charge into the grill all the production orders ready to be charged into the furnace to be rolled.
Production orders are formed by a heats sequence that is built in the MCS module.

This module has an interactive interface through which provides in real time, substantial information that describes how and conditions for every rolled billet along the mill, including related information from devices interconnected into this application.
This module collects critical information; most of this comes directly from L1 (PLCs) and other devices working along the mill.

The delay report is a module that allow the main pulpit operator to report a delay after this happened, this module is based in the Line structure module.
When a delay occurs and it ends, the tracking module triggers an event so that a window pops up and gives the main pulpit operator the possibility to report the delay at that precise moment.

Once a delay is reported by the main pulpit operator, if the rolling mill team decide to change the delay concept, the System administrator can to use this module to change the delay concept and assign a specific delay to a new concept.

This module is only for the System administrator no one will have access to this.

This module is designed to receive the final product (coil), weigh it, create an ID for it and print its respective tag with all the necessary information (WO, Heat, Weight, Product, etc.), for this final product.
During this procedure all the information is saved to allow tag reprints, weight editing and viewing of weight reports and internally the module prepare the information for each coil to be transferred to another module or system ERP(SAP).

This module allows the user to see the status of the rolling mill in real time.
The screens show all the process information for the product that is currently being produced. Several KPIs graphs and the summary of bills rolled per hour during the shift are also available.

This module is designed to register the qualification process for each coil, creating a record of whether it was rejected and the rejection reason/cause.
This process is performed before the coil is weighed.

The module can handle many rejections causes; the rejection causes are administrated separately but the module can access them transparently. The results of all the qualifications are available to be presented to the users in more detailed reports in the XAR module.

The QOFF Module is the responsible of registering the qualification process into one second inspection of each coil it means having in the coil record if it was rejected or not and if it was also having the rejection cause, these rejection causes are for one second inspection.

The CYI Module is the responsible of receiving the final product after it was weighed and located in a specific location of the Final Product Yard to in some moment take out to complete one shipment order.

The XAR Module is the responsible of detailing the information of charging grill, the furnace charge, rolling times, delays, gap o schedule stops, weighing and quality process. Compare the indicators like metallic yield, quality yield, rolling speed, real productive time vs standards to measure the productivity.

This module shows to the user the current WO-Heat that is being weighed at real time on the Rolling mill weighing station. Displaying the Profile-Diameter-Grade, also shows a detail (weight-datetime and Coil/Bundle Id Number) coil by coil.

The Billet Monitor Editor Module, allows to the XpertManager system administrator to fix or make the corrections directly in the source (means database). With this module.
The information flow is designed so that each module of the system delivers data in valid format. In case that some operating problem need to be solved and the information in the database has to be modified, the XpertManager system administrator has to use this module to do it.

This module manage the privileges and restrictions that each user has in XpertManager system. With this tool the user administrator can decide what is going to use each user account according to the job assigned.
This program shoud be used only by an administrator user. XpertManager is a powerful system not only for information managing; it has been created to follow information in a simple way. But XpertManager not only offers facilities to users, it does for administrator too.

This is an administrative module and its main function is to add and update all the tag templates that will be used in the Rolling Mill for the CTW application to load the template that will be printed for the final products.

• The tags templates will be charged in format jpg or bmp
• This module will process the original image to be charged by the CTW applications

The XpertManager System offers dedicate interfaces that enable business process integration and asynchronous data communication between two or more SAP systems or between SAP and external systems.
For a regular case, communication will be started by SAP; it will send XML files containing the next information: Heats, Heat's chemical analysis, Work orders,New Indexes (Billets, Products), With this information, the XpertManager system can start the production's tracking procedure, starting from the billet yard inventory and ending at the coil weighing & tagging module, being in this last point where the writing interfaces send data to SAP.

The Chocks and Bearings manager is the application where will be charged all the information about all bearings and chocks used in the rolling mill, all the bearings and chocks will have the individual ID for each element, the information about the stand that can be mounted, information about the supplier and brand, life time supplier recommendation, price by supplier, and reports.

The purpose to have in the XpertManager system the Billet Identification number marked after the Continuous Casting Machine is to avoid any kind of mistake loading the furnace, mixing the heats and steel grades.
This system has an interface that provide the operator a tool to see what the XpertManager system is monitoring and what the OPR system is providing. Information is displayed in a simple interface that gives operator option to confirm information.

The Email Reports tool provides a detailed, in-depth overview of some events occurred on production. This tool is essential in understanding the reach and impact of rolling mill performance, so you can go back and see what is effective.
The email reports aviable are:

• Gas consumption per shift
• One-Hour delay report
• Production daily summary report
• No gas reading
• Bearings activity summary and monthly status
