Industry 4.0 and the steel of Ternium

Digital Transformation

Industry 4.0

The evolution of steel

Ternium seeks to be at the forefront of technological innovations and development of industrial products and processes. With real-time data, we promote automation and online-integration of our value chain. We want to make difference through continuous innovation.

We work with highly demanding industries — such as automotive and construction— and our commercial strategy is directly linked to technological advances.

In the automotive sector, Ternium has received 400 certifications during the last five years and in 2017 we became a member of WorldAutoSteel Association, which gathers major steel manufacturers for the automotive sector.

A smart organization

We seek to make the most of the benefits of automation. Having access real-time information through a common platform helps us extend the benefits to the entire value chain. We want to consolidate as a S.M.A.R.T company (Social, Mobile, Analytics, Robotics and the Internet of Things). This ensures the continued flow of data and knowledge and facilitates efficient performance through the use of mobile devices regardless of actual physical location.

Ternium Smart Factory

Leveraging technology

Our objective is to benefit from technological advances to minimize interruptions and accelerate the production process, improving customer satisfaction, productivity and operational efficiency. We hold training courses using Virtual Reality to train our employees with simulators. We have started to use robotics in areas such as Industrial Engineering and Commercial. This helps us be faster and more efficient. We are constantly looking for new opportunities to apply this technology to an increasingly number of processes.
