Panel discussion III

Whilst steel producers rely on SIS for surface qualification (increased percentage of auto surface qualification), what will you be able to provide for ensuring the SIS in good performance and how to auto measure the performance?
Performance: Julien Langlois, ArcelorMittal
Discussion with system providers and the audience

Final remarks and outlook
incl. the question: "What must be developed to make the SIS a more plug and play instrument?"
