Distributed Microprocessor Control—The Foundation for CIM at Alcan Rolled Products Co.
In 1985, Alcan Rolled Products Co. purchased an aging aluminum rolling plant in Terre Haute, Ind., as a part of a
larger acquisition from ARCO/Anaconda. Since then, automation has been in high gear at the location.
The Terre Haute operation was selected to be one of Alcan’s premier aluminum foil mills, complete with a
computer-integrated manufacturing system. As a part of the $75 million upgrade, Alcan installed a new cold rolling
mill and supporting logistics. The new mill would receive heavy-gage coils from Alcan’s Saguenay (Canada)
operation, fer rolling into foil for shipment or further processing by one of the plant’s other foil rolling mills. All mill
controls are implemented in microprocessor-based control systems supplied by Siemens, most being SIMATIC PLC’s.
The new mill now handles 40,000-lb coils—twice as large as before.
A coil storage and retrieval system is supplied by Kone-Landel of Houston, Texas. The automated system includes
two 25-ton work in process bridge cranes and 12 coil transfer cars. The movement of the cranes and cars are
orchestrated by a MicroVAX 3300 (Digital Equipment Corp.) computer. Each piece of material handling equipment
is controlied by its own SIMATIC S5-115U PLC, linked to a master SIMATIC S5-115U PLC, which interconnects to
the MicroVax through a communication network (Serial links and Ethernet bus). All PLC systems were provided by
Siemens.
Arriving coils are unloaded by a gantry crane and installed in an enclosed, single-level storage system. Once the
gantry crane operator enters the coil ID number, the crane is switched to automatic and is computer-controlled from
there. The crane storage system’s DEC 3300 computer selects an empty storage location, determines the X-Y-Z
coordinates of that location and directs the PLC to place the coil at those coordinates. The PLC’s control the bridge
trolley and hoist drives of the crane, to place the coil within % in. in any coordinate. The PLC’s receive their
positioning feedback signal from infrared position measurement sensors mounted on the crane. Thereafter, the coil
is precisely tracked throughout the plant, as it is moved by the materials handling system. Control of the incoming
coil crane is directed from an onboard equipment panel which contains the crane’s nerve center, a SIMATIC PLC
system communicating with the remotely located crane storage system MicroVax. An overhead crane system
retrieves the coils ¢s needed to keep the new cold mill operating. The status and location of each coil is recorded from
its arrival, through production and shipping.
A similar PLC/computer package oversees a second crane system which retrieves coils from the exit end of the new
rolling mill and returns them to storage, further processing or shipping. The crane systems operate over a span of
80 ft and a length of 750 ft, with two automated cranes running up and down the same runway. Software controlled
anticollision devices monitor distance and velocity between cranes and provide instructions to the PLC system to
keep the cranes safely apart from each other.
The major part of the total investment was the installation of a new single-stand cold mill, the widest and fastest
in North America for rolling aluminum foil. The mill is automated to the maximum degree possible.
Other MMC units control the speed of the mill, flatness of the strip and interface to the operators. The MMC also
has a vital role in the system’s communication. It communicates, for example, with the rolling mill drive system
monitoring and controlling entry and rewind speed and tension, all of which affect the final thickness (gage) of the
aluminum foil. The MMC also communicates with the SIMATIC PLC system.
Upon pass completion, the mill automation system signals the crane which automatically carries the coil to its next
destination. Through the Alcan LANATS system, all data relating to the finished coil as well as maintenance,
engineering and statistical data are passed on to the plant computer for further processing. Siemens supplied all
hardware and software for the mill automation system as well as the application program for the DEC MicroVAX
mill computer.
The Alcan automation has been carefully integrated into a CIM hierarchy. Starting at the top, orders are entered
into the plant’s IBM business computer and transmitted to the MICROVAX shop floor control system which handles
scheduling, product tracking and production reporting. Plant floor data acquisition and actual instructions are
handled through another MicroVAX and IBM PC. These computers are in constant communication with the MMC
and PLC’s, which control all plant floor automation. All crane control, AGV control and local process/machine control
are accomplished by the distributed microprocessor-based system. &

First Certified Packaging Control Signed by USS
The U. S. Steel Group was certified as the first steel producer to meet the strict dietary packaging of a variety of
religious and secular organizations representing more than a billion customers world-wide.
A formal certification agreement was signed by USS, and the Certified Shipping Packaging Transport, Inc. This
organization was established to identify and certify food and beverage container materials which comply with the
religious, philosophical and health-related standards of Jewish, Islamic, Seventh Day Adventist and other groups.
The certification involves tin mill products, for steel food and beverage cans, and cold rolled sheet, used for steel
drums in which bulk foodstuffs such as shortening are shipped. Gary works, Fairfield works, and Mon Valley/Fairless
works, and USS-POSCO are covered by the certification.
U. S. Steel’s certification comes as a result of the company’s making changes in the lubricants it uses in steel
processes—eliminating the presence of many animal fats—and its careful review of annealing processes to burn off
any trace of animal fat used in earlier processing.
The certified steel mark earned by U. S. Steel "will assure members of the groups represented by Certified Shipping
Packaging Transport that they can buy and use food and beverages shipped or packaged in containers made from
U. S. Steel product."
U. S. Steel serves a container market which includes production of 32 billion steel food and beverage cans and 37
millon steel drums annually. Additionally, 80 million steel pails are produced each year.
Several of the participants stressed the importance of steel’s recyclability in connection with its status as a container
material acceptable to groups with philosophical or health related dietary concerns.
While the certified steel program for many customers involved meeting strict dietary packing requirements, many
of these same consumers also express concerns about the environment by purchasing recyclable packaging materials.
Steel is by far the world’s most recycled material and it addresses those concerns. The rate of recycling for steel
containers has steadily increased. In 1990, 24.6% of all steel cans were recycled, an increase of 37% from 1989. A
