Metal consumers are interested in the properties of the products they are about to buy. By combining blockchain technology with zero-knowledge proofs, metal producers can successfully provide information about production processes without revealing confidential details about their production processes.

In recent years, metals producers are actively working towards decarbonizing the industry. This has led to breakthroughs in the use of hydrogen, renewable energy and digital transformation in producing green steel.This brings about numerous questions like, how can green steel and aluminum produced in the US be protected against imported ones with high CO2 footprint? How can producers leverage renewable energy for cheaper and optimized production? Furthermore, how can aluminum producers achieve the net zero target? These are some of the issues discussed at AISTECH in the US and Future Aluminum Forum, Canada in May 2023.

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.
