From scrap to finished goods
AI for steel mills to:
- buy scrap on metallurgical value, not on dollars per ton
- recover the true chemistry of every charge from your own heats
- turn the order book into a caster and rolling schedule, then into a 24-hour plan for the melt shop and the cranes
- read the material with computer vision instead of trusting the paperwork
AI for scrap processors and shredder yards to:
- price a grade on what is actually in the load
- hold recovery on the processing line instead of leaving it there
- set shredder parameters against yield rather than by feel
AI for foundries to:
- hit a target chemistry with the cheapest charge mix
- stop over-adding alloys just to stay inside spec
- see what a substitution costs before making it
AI for steel service centers to:
- choose the coil that leaves the least yield in the skeleton
- prove a substitution is safe instead of turning it down
- keep the order book and the inventory in step
Working somewhere else in metals? There is a good chance the same models apply.
What to expect after you reach out
Two conversations to understand your process, then one of two ways forward, depending on whether a module already fits.
Discovery call
A short call to meet your team, walk through the modules relevant to your mill, and hear where your process hurts today.
On-site workshop
A full day at your plant with your business and process teams. You leave with a structured map of the problem and how it maps onto our existing modules, or onto capabilities we would build for you.
30-day free trial
For plug-and-play modules that already fit your process. You get the module with demo data loaded, plus guidance on connecting your own.
4-week Exploration Engagement
For work that has to be built with you. A paid engagement that ends with a phase-one plan and a quantified money impact, backed by a proof-of-concept model.

My family has built industry for four generations: steel at a plant in the Urals on my mother's side, and on my father's, a geologist who mapped Siberia, a professor of electrical engineering, and the three sons who followed him into the profession. I'm continuing what they started, and I want to build a real steel plant of the future.

Most customers start seeing measurable results within the first 1–3 months after roll-out. Depending on specifics and customization requirements this timeline will be updated.
No additional hardware is required. Our AI platform integrates seamlessly with your existing production environment and focuses on optimizing your current equipment and processes. Some specific use cases (computer vision) would require camera upgrade and/or installation of LiDAR systems for full capabilities.
Our modules are designed for smooth integration with plant control systems, ERP, and MES platforms. A typical implementation takes a few weeks to a few months, depending on the complexity of your operations and chosen set of modules.
Not at all. Our user interfaces are built to be intuitive and require minimal training. We provide onboarding workshops, but the goal is for your operators and engineers to focus on decision-making, while our AI handles the heavy calculations in the background.
Yes. After initial deployment, your IT team can handle standard system administration. We provide ongoing remote monitoring, updates, and recalibration to ensure peak performance and adapt the models to changing conditions.
We do offer a limited-time custom trial, that would not yet be tailored to your plant’s unique processes and data. However, it enables you to test the models on a smaller scale before full rollout.
Both options are available. Many clients start with a specific module (e.g., OptiScrap or SmartPlan) and expand over time. Others choose the full portfolio of modules for maximum value. We tailor the approach to your priorities and budget.
