PSI has been contracted by Dofasco Inc. for supply of a complete manufacturing execution system (MES) for all production areas, from hot rolling to finishing, at its Hamilton, Ont., facility.
 
Dofasco will receive a fully integrated solution for the entire process—from the management level to production. The new production management system includes the functional areas from the PSImetals vertical industry solution, including a production execution system and advanced line sequencing.
