Abstract
The invention relates to a device for actively tracking specific data on systems or the components of a metallurgical system, characterized in that at least one readable and writable memory medium for the specific data is fixedly connected to each component, and the specific data are modifiable periodically and/or on the basis of input. In addition, the invention relates to a metallurgical system, in particular an integrated foundry or a mini-mill, comprising at least one device according to the invention. Finally, the invention relates to the use of at least one device according to the invention in an electric steel mill or a converter steel mill and/or in systems of secondary metallurgy and/or in casting plants, in particular continuous casting machines, and/or in molten steel transport units and/or in furnace systerms and/or in hot and cold rolling mills and/or in rolled stock treatment systems, in particular strip treatment systems.
