High-end production. Manual coordination. In modern metals production, that gap is no longer acceptable. Today´s digitalized production cannot be handled with manual planning. Fuse production planning, sequencing, and intralogistics into one connected suite: https://lnkd.in/eHfWxH6m ✅ SMS Manufacturing Execution System delivers complete production visibility, full material genealogy, and intelligent execution management in real time. ✅ SMS Sequencing & Scheduling System optimizes production planning, validates orders automatically, and continuously adapts schedules to maximize throughput and delivery performance. ✅ SMS Logistics Management System provides real-time yard visibility, automated transport optimization, and seamless material flow from goods receipt to shipment.

The tradeoff is over. Benchmarked against the conventional process, Nexcast® delivers: 90% smaller footprint 25% less energy 40% less capital cost Without giving up the capability to run sophisticated, high-value alloys. That's the difference: the efficiency of continuous casting, with an alloy performance spectrum that used to require conventional ingot casting. Co-developed with Golden Aluminum and built by SMS group. In commercial operation since August 2025. See what Nexcast could mean for your mill: https://lnkd.in/eMHpripw

A first delivery sets the pace. A second order proves the result. ✔️ At Hybar in Osceola, the next outcome is already in motion: an order for a second CMT® 550 mill that will deliver the world’s first twin CMT® operation. Installed alongside the existing CMT® 550, it increases annual reinforcing bar production by 630,000 short tons. We supply the complete CMT® mill from a single source, integrating steelmaking, casting, and rolling into one continuous process, supported by digital monitoring and automation built for reliable, high productivity operation. The twin approach is designed for smarter use of shared logistics and power infrastructure, powered by the site’s 105 MW solar park and 160 MWh battery storage. The target is ambitious and measurable: up to 35% lower carbon emissions versus a conventional minimill. Thank you to Hybar for choosing SMS again, and to the teams and partners behind this twin CMT® chapter. 🤝 Read the press release on the second order here: https://lnkd.in/ebw9DHna

The “2+2 forging” strategy represents a change in hydraulic radial forging. Unlike conventional methods, this strategy alternates the forging of tool pairs. The corresponding IP patent approval process is already underway. The innovative “2+2 forging” strategy offers an efficient solution capable of supporting both greenfield and brownfield operators. It is available as a software update to process demanding new alloys with superior core deformation and microstructural quality. With a larger manipulator feed that exceeds 100 mm, the SMX achieves greater material deformation per stroke. The improved bite ratio enables deeper penetration of the forging tools into the material. Follow our or channel SMS Forging & Extrusion Solutions for more deep dives!
