INTRODUCTION
Bhilai Steel Plant - a symbol of Indo-Soviet techno-economic collaboration,
is one of the first three integrated steel plants set up by Government of India to
build up a sound base for the industrial growth of the country, The agreement
for setting up the plant with a capacity of 1 MT of Ingot steel was signed
between the Government of erstwhile U.S.S.R. and India on 2nd February,
1955, and only after a short period of 4 years, India entered the main stream of
the steel producers with the commissioning of its first Blast Furnace on 4th
February, 1959 by the then President of India, Dr Rajendra Prasad.
Commissioning of all the units of 1 MT stage was completed in 1961. A dream
came true-the massive rocks from the virgin terrains of Rajhara were
converted
into valuable iron & steel.

Human Resources
Development
A need for continuous effort to keep
its human resources updated has led
to the
establishment of a captive training
center viz HRD Center (Bhilai
Technical Institute)
in the middle of 1959, alongwith the
commissioning of first Coke Oven
Battery, Blast
Furnace, Steel Melting Shop, etc.
The year 1961 saw the birth of
BHILAI
MANAGEMENT TRAINING CENTRE
at the junction of Bhilai and Durg.

C & IT DIVISION
The seeds of computerization in Bhilai Steel Plant
were sown way back in 1963 with the formation of
EDP department. The first computer unit in EDP
was IBM 402, aptly called unit-recording machine.
In 1967, first main frame computer IBM 1401 was
installed. It was handed over to BSP officially on 1st
August 1967, which is regarded as the birthday of
EDP. From IBM 402 EDP has traveled far ahead to
reach today's height with latest IT tools and
machines.
INCOS
INCOS, the Integrated Control Systems department, deals with the automation
and computerization in our plant. Since its formation in 1986, the department has
been playing a key role in implementing automation and computerization schemes in
our plant and maintaining them effectively. The department plays a pivotal role in
assimilating and adopting newer technologies in the ever-growing field of process
automation.
In the production units that have been modernised recently and the upcoming
facilities under the expansion plans, automation and control systems form an integral
part of the processes. Any problem in the automation system may result in the total
stoppage of the particular process. Hence, ensuring trouble-free functioning of
automation systems is very much essential for the smooth running of our plant.

Role of INCOS:

􀂋 Study and identification of key areas of the plant for introducing computerization.
􀂋 Conceptualizing automation schemes in consultation with process personnel.
􀂋 Conducting feasibility studies and obtaining management approval for viable
schemes.
􀂈 Coke transport route from batteries 9 & 10 to Blast Furnaces is controlled
INSTRUMENTATION & WEIGHMENT
DEPARTMENT
Instrumentation department came into existence along with the inception of the
integrated steel plant. Over a period of time, the department has grown in line
with the plant. In the late 80s the Weigh Bridge and Scale Maintenance
Department got merged with Instrumentation department and renamed as
Instrumentation & WBSM Department. Now it is popularly known as
'Instrumentation & Weighment' department.

Instruments in the industry form the basic sense organs and provide information
about the process, production, quality, and standard parameters. They also
process the information into workable logics and deliver necessary outputs to
meet the quality and quantity norms. They facilitate the process to operate at
optimum to maximum efficiency at reasonably low resource consumption within
the design limitations.
