The Internet of Metals – How to Trace the DNA of a Coil

09 Dec 2020, Industry 4.0, Artificial Intelligence, Production, Technology

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.
