Mikhailovsky GOK named after A.V. Varichev (part of Metalloinvest) has commissioned the information and analytical platform of the situational and analytical center for production management in the field of maintenance and repairs (MRO). The new digital tool has combined data on the operation of equipment in a single information space and will become the basis for the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies.
At the first stage, crushing and conveyor equipment, as well as roasting machine No. 3, are connected to the system – about 150 units in total. The platform combines seven data sources and is integrated with a comprehensive SAP ERP system. Today, it processes up to 10,000 parameters per second, and its architecture allows you to scale this volume without restrictions.
In real time, the system collects and analyzes information about the condition of the main and auxiliary equipment, monitors key production parameters and displays them in a single interface. This helps to quickly identify deviations, warn staff about potential risks, and make recommendations for decision-making.
"Previously, data on different sites and aggregates were in different systems. Now we get a complete picture of the operation of the equipment in real time. This allows you to react faster to changes, improve the quality of repairs and the reliability of production processes. The next stage is to use the accumulated data to develop predictive analytics and artificial intelligence tools," said Andrey Pligin, Director of Production Assets at MGOKA.
The launch of the artificial intelligence module is scheduled for August 2026. It will analyze production data, identify anomalies and hidden patterns, predict possible failures of equipment and its components, and recommend optimal operating modes.
The OptimalFlow Group solution was used to implement the project. The platform is based on a digital enterprise model that combines software solutions, hardware, and automated user workstations.
The project was completed in six months. In the future, it is planned to connect new production facilities to the system and expand its functionality.
"Modern production cannot be imagined without data. We are consistently creating a digital infrastructure that will allow us to move from event control to event forecasting. The launch of the information and analytical platform is an important step along this path and a necessary condition for the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies in production," said Anton Zakharov, Managing Director of Mikhailovsky GOK.
