RAD-CON’s CAPS™ Shop Optimization model
will help you take Bell Annealing Furnace (BAF)
efficiency to the next level and generate greater
productivity and profitability.
The Shop Optimization model maximizes
throughput by formulating an optimal strategy,
then directing the operators' moves. This
approach increases shop capacity instead of
just managing tasks within the shop.
Considers everything from man-power
to machine to eliminate waste, boost
efficiency.
Utilizing data from the
Heating, Cooling and
Stacking model outputs,
the Shop Optimization
model determines the
most efficient use of
BAF resources by
identifying the critical constraints, then
calculating the right moves.
Through real-time task assignments
communicated directly to the crane, floor, and
furnace operators, the software drives all
resource activities. The sequence of activities
is controlled using a strategy that avoids
conflicts to most efficiently complete each task.
This cuts redundancy, eliminates
bottlenecks and allows operators
to be more productive.
Helping managers work toward
long-term goals.
Efficient resource management assures that
shop managers’ daily decisions also consider
the effect on the long-term objectives of the shop
and the total operation.
The bottom line.
RAD-CON’s Shop Optimization
model allows you to get the
most out of current BAF assets
by significantly improving
communication, reducing
human error, improving
equipment and manpower
utilization and
increasing throughput.
BAF production also becomes more
predictable and effective which, in turn,
enhances the efficiency of downstream
operations.
Is your BAF production falling behind its rated
capacity? Consider software for more throughput,
instead of adding equipment. The Shop
Optimization model can be added to existing
shops or new RAD-CON installations that utilize
CAPS™ Stacking, Heating and Cooling models.

Master the management of
your anneal shop with the next
generation in BAF optimization.
Real time tasks are assigned
via hand-held PDA and crane
cab monitors. www.RAD-CON.com
