A digital warehouse for coke chemical production will be created in Russia

      The agreement on the implementation of the project and other digital solutions was signed by Khachatur Pombukhchan, CEO of MegaFon, and Pavel Shilyaev, CEO of MMK PJSC.

      Digital modeling of coal warehouse processes will allow the plant's employees to take into account the presence and movement of coal concentrates in real time, and monitor their structure and characteristics in detail. Due to such monitoring of the operation of key mechanisms used for loading and moving raw materials, including conveyors, as well as metering and crushing equipment, it will be possible to effectively plan unloading and improve product quality.

      "In the current conditions, the digitalization of production processes is becoming a real tool for increasing the efficiency of enterprises. Our projects with Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works confirm this thesis. The construction of a private corporate network, the creation of a digital twin of an iron ore warehouse, automation of inspection and certification of metal products – the results of the implementation of these solutions have already been highly appreciated in production. The digital coal warehouse project will be another step in optimizing production processes at the enterprise," said Khachatur Pombukhchan, CEO of MegaFon.

      At the first stage, the operator will deploy a control and accounting system for incoming raw materials and integrate it with existing production solutions. The launch of the first stage of the digital coal warehouse into commercial operation is scheduled for early 2026.

      "MMK consistently implements advanced digital solutions to improve production efficiency. The successful experience of automating the transportation and storage of iron ore raw materials in the sintering charge preparation shop became the starting point for scaling similar solutions to other processing plants," said Pavel Shilyaev, General Director of MMK PJSC. –Digital control of technological processes, minimizing the influence of the human factor, as well as improving product quality are MMK's priorities, and digital technologies make it possible to effectively solve these tasks."

      In addition to digitalization of coke production, MegaFon will expand the territory of the Private LTE Private corporate network, operating on the basis of a package core of the domestic Protey development. As part of the new stage of the company's infrastructure development, pLTE will be additionally deployed in workshops at the main industrial site and remote locations – sinter plant No. 5 and lime-dolomite production.

A digital warehouse for coke chemical production will be created in Russia

MegaFon and Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK) have agreed to create a digital coal warehouse for coke and chemical production as part of SPIEF 2025. The project optimizes the quality management of raw materials used for iron smelting and will reduce the specific consumption of coal charge by about 25%.
