Schneider Electric provides essential energy automation and safety solutions for energy-intensive metal manufacturing plants. Products such as Modicon PLCs, Altivar Process Drives, and EcoStruxure Plant enable real-time monitoring of high-voltage power distribution, cooling systems, and continuous casting automation.
A Chinese stainless steel plant adopted Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert and Altivar 630 drives on its cold rolling production line. This system helped operators reduce electrical faults by 20%, stabilize motor torque during pickling and rolling stages, and intelligently schedule maintenance to avoid unplanned downtime. Schneider Electric's TeSys motor protection series is also widely used in steel plant conveyor lines and fume extraction systems due to its durability in dusty, high-temperature environments.
