such as steelmaking, mining and other processes
industries.                                                        Energy managers, process engineers,
                                                                   operation managers
Still, many industrial organizations lack a systemic,
digitalized approach to energy management, which
makes them vulnerable to unavoidable trends such as increasingly complex energy matrices, volatile energy
prices, carbon taxes and stricter environmental and social regulations. Also, the organization’s carbon footprint,
inherently coupled to energy and operational efficiency, will impose additional pressure over profits and could
even prevent industrial plants from running altogether. Decarbonization efforts will create significant opportunities
for companies that implement and execute effective energy and sustainability strategies that effectively integrate
shop floor operations to corporate management.

Thus, the goal is to present and discuss main concepts related to energy efficiency, energy planning, and overall
energy management with a focus on short- and longterm performance improvement for the main processes
and decision-making challenges found in steelmaking. The seminar will also present the Viridis Energy Platform
and its main applications, showcasting their main features and emphasizing on how they create value for energy-
intensive industries.

IMPOL SEVAL aluminum rolling mill in Sevojno/Serbia

Hydraulics seminar
A hydraulics seminar for employees of Impol Seval
was held July 22 - 27, 2019 at SMS group. The train-
ing sessions were held in the Customer Training
Center, the hydraulic test field in Hilchenbach, and
the Digital Classroom in Mönchengladbach.

Virtual pump and filter change
An important aspect from the customer's perspective
was the ability to utilize virtual reality to practice real
pump and filter changes in a virtual space. The virtual
plant tour allowed participants to get to know their
future working environment first. A demonstration
of pump and filter changes was then given, followed
by intensive practice sessions in which the partici-
pants were able to perform the changes themselves.
This allowed them to learn solid skills in safe handling
so that real-world changes can be performed quickly
and safely in future.

The benefits at a glance
Risk-free familiarization with the plant and knowledge
of future operating maneuvers that have no impact on
the real plant. This means greater operational safety
and reliability and fewer production losses resulting
from work that is not properly carried out.
