Nisthora for steel and metal rolling.
Reheating furnaces, rolling stands, drives and cooling beds all have to keep pace with each other. Nisthora watches their readings, records every mill stop with its reason, and warns which asset needs maintenance soon.
What gets in the way.
Mill stops
Cobbles, roll changes and drive trips stop the whole mill.
Heavy loads
Gearboxes, bearings and motors carry huge loads.
Roll wear
Rolls must be changed on time, not too early and not too late.
What Nisthora connects to and measures.
Machines
- Reheating furnaces
- Rolling stands
- Main drives and gearboxes
- Shears
- Cooling beds
- Coilers
Readings
- Furnace zone temperature
- Stand motor current and torque
- Gearbox bearing temperature and vibration
- Rolling speed
- Tonnes rolled
- Run / stop state
Typical stop reasons
- Roll change
- Cobble
- Drive trip
- Planned maintenance
- Waiting for billets
- Size change
These are common examples. Each plant names its own machines and lines, and sets up its own stop reasons, in the words its team uses.
Records for every heat
Every stop and reading is kept in history, so each heat or coil can be traced back to what the mill was doing at the time.
A day with Nisthora
A stand's gearbox bearing temperature trends up for days. The maintenance forecast shows the days left and why, and the work is planned into the next roll change.
Example for illustration.
Built for plants like yours.
Live status of every asset
Running, stopped or offline, with its key readings, live on one screen.
Maintenance forecast
Which asset needs maintenance in the next 30 days, how many days are left, and why.
Anomaly detection
Flags readings that are not normal for that asset, even inside the limits.
Alerts
Limits on any reading, sent in-app, by email, SMS, push or webhook, with escalation.
Downtime analysis
Every stop with its reason and length, and a Pareto of the biggest causes.
Root cause and fishbone
Find why a problem keeps coming back, and prove the fix.
Energy
Power use per asset and per area.
Works with your controllers
OPC UA, Modbus, Siemens S7, EtherNet/IP, MQTT and HTTP.
