Shanxi Jingang New Materials Technology and Primetals Technologies have signed an agreement for an advanced digitalisation solution for Shanxi Jingang’s new Arvedi ESP line.
The solution features Through-Process Quality Control (TPQC), Asset Life Expert (ALEX), and the ESP Scheduler.
Li Qiang, Chairman of Shanxi Jingang New Materials Technology, said: “With the support of strong partners like Primetals Technologies, we are committed to developing high-end products, efficient management, intelligent control, and green production, while driving transformation and upgrading,
“The ESP production line is central to our transformation, reflecting our pursuit of efficiency, premium products, and comprehensive digitalisation.”
The ALEX solution provides real-time asset monitoring and recommendations for service, maintenance and operation, while TPQC offers continuous visibility into product quality and insights throughout steel production.
Tomislav Koledic, CEO of Primetals Technologies China, added: “This digitalisation solution will help Shanxi Jingang realise its high-end product strategy on the Arvedi ESP line. We are committed to making this project a benchmark for China’s steel industry and look forward to further collaboration with Shanxi Jingang in advancing green, intelligent, and premium product development.”
Arvedi ESP technology is the only officially certified solution for carbon-neutral thin-slab casting and rolling.
In September 2025, the two companies signed a contract to build an Arvedi ESP line at Shanxi Jiang’s facility in Jincheng, China, capable of fully endless operation, producing hot-rolled coil with thicknesses from 0.7mm to 12.7mm.
The first coil is planned for the first quarter of 2027.
