First DNV electronic certificate for steel plate issued to Qinhuangdao Shouqin Metal Materials

Before the Synergi Steel system was in place, the time needed to process and deliver the paper certificates to steelmakers was up to weeks – with official stamps needed on the original documents. Synergi Steel is a software solution for optimising the steel plate certification process digitally. It was initiated by Project Manager Fu Guo Qiang, Dalian CMC/ SiO Manager to solve various challenges relating to quality and efficiency for mass production of steel plate in China. Mr Fu’s team, together with DNV Software, cooperated with An Gang Steel, the largest steel mill in China. Together they developed a preliminary solution. It was subsequently tailored for Qinhuangdao Shouqin Metal Materials Co. Ltd which owned Xinsteel Industrial Co.,Limited(the largest subsidiary under Capital Steel Group)
The electronic certification replaces a more time-consuming process. In the paper system, after the steel plate is produced, detailed material particulars are carefully verified by DNV surveyors according to DNV Rules and Approval of Manufacturer (AOM). Then the paperwork is sent back to the steelmaker after signing and official stamping. The process involves extensive manual checks to ensure the quality of data on mill sheets issued from maker. This leads to high logistics costs for the steelmaker due to long storage timing of products waiting for certificates, in addition to the man-hours needed for a large volume of printing, in addition to physical delivery and follow-up. Moreover, mistakes invariably occur when manual verification of a large volume of materials is required.
