Case Study: Confidential steel producer achieves a successful 400-mile slitting and packaging line migration with Audubon

Steel migrates packaging lines 400+ miles with Audubon

Audubon was contracted by a confidential steel producer to engineer and migrate its stainless steel slitting and packaging lines over 400 miles from the midwestern U.S. to a new facility in Pennsylvania. The challenge involved moving complex industrial equipment and ensuring it would be optimized for fit and function in its new location, requiring extensive electrical, instrumentation, and automation engineering.

Audubon executed a comprehensive solution, performing an E&I field analysis and engineering the migration of all components. The team reprogrammed Allen-Bradley control systems, reconfigured the packaging line's operation, and integrated the various equipment into a cohesive process. Audubon successfully deployed, commissioned, and started up the lines to achieve efficient and reliable operations for the steel producer.
