Innovation of Products and Services
Business and Social Innovation
Tata Steel (Thailand) Public Company Limited has brought knowledge and experiences to innovate and create benefits for energy saving, competitive advantage, and value creation in business and society. Innovative products / services of the Company are as follows:
1. Seismic Rebar: Tata Tiscon Bor Kor Sor S
As the first in Thailand, the Company has developed Seismic Rebar product under the name of TATA TISCON Bor Kor Sor S, available in SD40 and SD50 grades that conform to the Thai Industrial Standard (TIS) of TIS 24-2016. Without changing the structural design from TIS standard for strength of materials, the product has Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) and better elongation than specification of SD40 and SD50 determined in TIS. It, therefore, can be used to enhance safety during earthquakes due to higher ductility and bending ability. Moreover, it has higher convenience of usage at the construction sites and the bent portion of it retains higher residual ductility.
Key Benefits:
Based on high elongation from technology and process controls of rebar manufacturing, Tata Steel has developed higher ductility products and maintained the strength of SD40 and SD50 grades. They can absorb large amounts of energy released during earthquakes compared to other rebar grades.
Benefits for Consumers, Public and Society
Enhanced safety of building when using Tata TISCON Bor Kor Sor S in the structure.
2. Cut and Bend
Traditional construction process may create the waste of rebar because of overestimated ordering than actual use. The workers at the construction site cut and bend the rebar to the desired shape and form the shape while leaving some unwanted length.
Cut and Bend service is one of the comprehensive solutions to raise productivity in construction by working with customers to deliver customized solutions for each project, such as special length rebar 12-18 m., ready to use barrier, etc.
Key Benefits:
No wastages, because cut and bend process are done at the Company, the wastage at site becomes zero. Less difficulties arise to the labors. Product is produced from the factory; and therefore, significantly reduces the dependence on labor. Better time management is achieved because Cut and Bend service is ready for delivery within 3-5 days after finalization of design, thereby significantly reducing pressure to meet the deadlines. The Company provides Cut and Bend services from high quality standard of Tata TISCON rebar that delivers superior ductility.
