Omni smelter cell avoids some disadvantages

This approach needs not to store iron plates in advance. If you set burn iron plates, two of the furnaces make iron plates and three steel. with a blacklist for the filter inserter the raw material stays in the cargo wagon. Iron plates come out if you burn iron ore.

The previous solution needed the wide chest mod, because you can´t read the stock in the cargo wagon (I know there is a mod ...). So I control the reciving chest. This requires double handling too.

Another point is the reaction time if you order steel. The new setup reserves steel plates so steel production starts immediately. It counts all items inside the wagon to control the stock inside. It takes up less space too. Parhaps there are some more optimizations.
