Abstract: The modern metallurgical industry characterized by increased requirements for quality, economy and efficiency of technological processes. Automation based on a systematic approach to problem solving, it focuses on improving technical means, increasing labor productivity and improving product quality. [..] Read more

Abstract: Nowadays, automatization is widespread in all areas of human endeavor because it reduces physical and psychological strain, improves production, and increases economic and environmental benefits in the industry. In the field of controlled machine aggregates of technological processes, an essential element of automation is automatic control. [..] Read more

Abstract: The changing face of industry is increasingly loading automation. The fourth industrial revolution is a sign for the current trend of modernization and automation of individual workplaces and equipment. [..] Read more

Abstract: In connection with the application of technologies / principles of Industry 4.0, industrial practice also requires a more consistent application of the principles or principles of quality management. This applies to all areas of industry, but it is most pronounced in the automotive industry, engineering industry, metallurgical industry, metallurgy, chemical industry, electrical industry, etc.The paper focuses on the current requirements of quality management in industrial practice, including metallurgy and materials engineering. [..] Read more

Abstract: Agglomeration is an integral part of the metallurgical enterprise; its main task is production agglomerate used for the production of pig iron in blast furnaces. The production of the agglomerate consists of in the treatment of fine-grained ore material into a material with the required grain size, chemical composition and mechanical strength. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper presents a comparison of methodological approaches to creating tender calculations in engineering companies focused on the production of metal sheet parts and welded constructions. The compared methodologies of tender calculations are divided into a manual conventional approach and an automated approach. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper examines the issue of increasing the use and demand for low-carbon wire produced in secondary metallurgical production in the Czech Republic, which is important in fields which support development in industries such as transport, electricity production, medicine, food, aerospace, armaments and education. Research through surveys, determination of the links in this area, and establishment of the hypotheses and evidence for the need to address this current topic has provided knowledge which can potentially increase the added value of low-carbon wire..

Abstract: Today, the sustainable development goals adopted by United Nations belong to the basic pillars of sustainable business strategies of all industrial companies, including metallurgical and mining. However, their preferences often differ significantly in different companies around the world. [..] Read more

Abstract: The current business environment is characterized by the constantly changing needs and wishes of customers, technological progress and growing competition. A company which wants to maintain its position on the market must actively work to maintain and increase its competitiveness. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article is focused on the recognition and localization of numbers on steel billets. Serial numbers are embossed to each billet. [..] Read more

Abstract: The need to innovate in a difficult economic situation has become particularly important in recent years and has attracted the attention of many industrial economists. The cooperation of companies in networks and clusters has been recognized as a catalyst for accelerating industrial transformation for the development of new regional competitive advantages, accelerating the creation of companies and jobs. [..] Read more

Abstract: Within the framework of this work, a typical technology with subsequent assessment of the quality of production processes of titanium alloy powder and products made from it was evaluated. A comprehensive analysis of the production process was carried out from the production of a metal billet to the creation of a powder material and the formation of the final product. [..] Read more

Abstract: Export oriented companies are extremely important for the Czech Republic as a highly open economy. These companies contribute to the generation of GDP and ensure that the current account on its balance of payments remains balanced. [..] Read more

Abstract: Continuous steel casting has become a major technical and economic advantage one of the most important technological innovations not only in the steel industry, but in the world metallurgical industry in general. The aim of these modernization steps in the steel industry is focus on the production of high and super pure steels, which also has a significant impact on the use and thus also for the production and development of refractory materials.It is the issue of refractory materials for the preparation of the working lining of the tundish for continuous casting that this article deals with, in terms of efficiency, use and complexity of preparation.The aim of the article is generally to compare two methods of work preparation linings for tundishes for continuous casting of steel in terms of expected savings, increasing the quality of steel and accelerating the preparation of tundishes for the work process. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article discusses from a financial management aspect the use of book depreciated fixed assets in the manufacturing process, which is a situation typical for companies operating in iron smelting and steel and cast-iron foundries. In most cases, the manufacturing plant of these businesses was acquired more than 30 years ago, and in many cases more than 60 years ago. [..] Read more

Abstract: Metallurgy is one of the main industrial sectors which has a significant effect on the economic development of countries. Through the implementation of modern technologies, globalization has stimulated development of the metallurgical sector and delivered overall changes in the need for human capital and human resource management. [..] Read more

Abstract: Zinc oxide concentrate production from industrial waste is performed in the so-called rolldown process – in rotary furnaces. It is a complex technological process. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper deals with the issue of decision support in maintenance management and its optimization. Today, there are many modern tools and methods to optimize operational operations and maintenance itself. [..] Read more

Abstract: A virtual foundry can be an opportunity and a tool for solving economically costly problems, which include complex training of employees or prediction of costs for foundry castings. Virtual foundry is the application of the principles of digital twins to the foundry industry. [..] Read more

Abstract: The aim of this article is to identify the main risks in internal logistics processes in companies involved in metallurgical supply chains. The article also includes an initial proposal on how to work with and eliminate some risks. [..] Read more
