Metals Production in the Streaming Age: How to Make Uncertainty a Competitive Advantage

24 Jun 2021, Technology, Industry 4.0, Production

Digitization has changed customer behavior. Instead of choosing a product from a limited set of options, customers search for the product on the Internet and place orders through a seamless acquisition process, thus creating a streamline of products delivered to their door. This behavior change does not just affect retailers, but industrial manufacturers as well. Is your company ready to play along?

Overcoming the Mikado of Metals Production: With Industrial Intelligence Toward Higher Quality

No stick can wobble and in the end there is none left - Mikado is a world-famous game whose origins are lost in the past. To win this game of skill, you need to avoid your moves getting out of balance - otherwise the construct may collapse.

When people think of DNA analysis they often think about shows like CSI, which portray DNA samples coming into a lab and immediately pulling up a picture of the suspect. It is fascinating how only a single DNA fragment can be used to draw conclusions about a person! This concept can also be transferred to the metals industry: the company coilDNA has developed a revolutionary technology that gives individual pieces of metal an identity, tracks its history and turns them into an intelligent product.

Advanced Quality Evaluation – Why Quality Engineers Love Both Cats and Foxes

11 Nov 2020, Industry 4.0, Artificial Intelligence, Production

A quality management system should be reliable and fast, like the cat in the Aesop fable, where he perfected one trick and climbs a tree in order to escape from the dogs. At the same time the solution has to be intelligent and versatile – just like the fox who analyzes numerous strategies to find the best one. Quality experts often face similar challenges – they have to ensure the quality and react quickly and flexibly to unforeseen quality problems.
