Abstract
The developments in the aluminum markets demand that more use be made of the information available within a smelter. Quality must be made measurable and verifiable; the organization continually must be optimized, and the production processes must be steadily improved. Costs have to be supervised, deviations immediately reported, countermeasures taken at once. These elements offer protection against the pressure of the market and allow competitive high-tech products to be produced and timely investments to be targeted and made. With the help of information technology, it is ever more possible to keep up with these demands. This article describes the design and realization of a completely integrated data transmission system in a modern aluminum smelter operated by VAW Aluminium AG. Several examples of practical implementation are given.
