"The vision of Industry 4.0 prominently features the “smart factory” in which interconnected production machinery and logistics systems communicate with each other to form an “intelligent”, self-organized unit. In a “smart” rolling mill, an order would be processed through a chain of interlinked control systems, managing the necessary production processes. One of those, the Roll Shop Management System with Automation (RSMA), guides the machines that prepare the rolls for operation in the mill. Seamlessly integrated into the production facility as a whole, the RSMA automatically manages roll handling, roll machining and roll inspection in the roll shop. This includes preparation of rolls for the machining process, loading and unloading of grinding and texturing machines and initiating the grinding or texturing process. Data is collected, analyzed, prepared and exchanged with affiliate systems. The smart factory is a vision of the future – the automated roll shop is not. Today, precise condition monitoring, remote diagnostics of machine defects and preventive maintenance to maximize the service life of rolls are examples of the level of sophistication which can be achieved in a roll shop to increase the efficiency of production facilities."
