Metals Overview
Brock Solutions has a solid track record of successful drive and automation projects for the Metals industry.

The Metals industry demands application experience, depth in engineering skill to solve unique challenges, ability to quickly troubleshoot problems and a methodology that enables commissioning in parallel to a legacy system. Brock’s Metals solutions are cost effective, with an emphasis on improving our client’s competitiveness, productivity and quality.

Many Brock projects are implemented with zero impact on production using simulation tools and an execution plan that enables the existing system to be installed in parallel to a new one. See Hot Strip Profile

Because of Brock’s vendor-neutral approach, projects often use multiple technology latforms selected with the customer to provide the maximum choice and value. Often our customers request SAFphire technology; SAFphire technology has been developed by Brock Solutions to implement complex control algorithms, regulators and coordinate drives for many Metal drive projects. The block programming language and troubleshooting tools are just some of its unique features. (Visit www.SAFphire.com)
