Smart Material and Work Flows at the Age of Industry 4.0

13 Apr 2023, Industry 4.0, Technology, Production

The Industry 4.0 paradigm shift in the late 2010s triggered smart automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies and processes. It brought about increased applications of Artificial Intelligence in the industrial sector. Steelmakers were impacted by this digital transformation leading to smart products, processes and supply chains. By optimizing data and leveraging information in real time, they had more efficient and faster decision-making. However, to capture these opportunities and manage smart material flows and sustainable ecosystems, a Production Management System (PMS) also needs an I4.0 upgrade.

Sustainable Steel Production – Let’s Pick the Low-Hanging Fruits

01 Apr 2022, Industry 4.0, Production, Technology, Sustainability

Steel is a vital material for a modern, industrialized economy and the backbone of global sustainable initiatives. But the steel industry is also one of the world's most energy-intensive industries. Steelmakers are increasingly making decarbonization of production their global priority. But you don't even have to reach deep into the Industry 4.0 toolbox to discover low-hanging fruits that can be implemented quickly and cost-effectively to improve production efficiency and thus contribute to decarbonization.
