Process simulation is helping Stahlwerke Bremen GmbH optimise production and internal processes.
Instrumental in increasing its competitive edge is WITNESS, the simulation software created by the
Lanner Group.
Mention cars, planes and bridges, and steel immediately springs to mind. But nowadays steel
can be found almost everywhere and in all everyday settings: in industry, environmental technology,
medicine, sports, inside the home – steel is virtually indispensable. No other material is so multifaceted
and has so many different applications. The malleability and toughness of steel make it an ideal
material. Second to oil, steel is the most important raw material worldwide. Above all, economic growth
in Asia and especially in China has led to capacity bottlenecks and rising prices. This has led to
worldwide steel production leaping above the one billion ton mark in 2004.
