Role/focus:

Halcor participates in TRINEFLEX project by validating and demonstrating the integrated TRINEFLEX system. Halcor’s demonstration case is applied in Single- and Chaintrack drawing processes. Digital Retrofitting will enable smart monitoring and enhance flexibility by providing crucial insights into the consumption patterns as well as the correlation with machine states. Additionally, TRINEFLEX platform and DSS agents, through a holistic predictive maintenance scheme, will contribute to predicting and explaining device performance and energy utilization, both of which will be reported to the plant operators. In particular, within TRINEFLEX project the Environmental Maintenance Planning will be developed which utilizes criteria such as environmental impact (scrap, CO2 emissions, etc.), energy cost, energy efficiency, remaining useful life, operating cost and maintenance time.
