Aluminum Smarter production for the modern aluminum plant
Integrated software empowering aluminum producers to increase efficiency, ensure quality, reduce energy use, and respond faster to market demands.
Challenges in the aluminum industry
The aluminum industry is at the center of global transformation. As a critical material for mobility, packaging, construction, renewable energy, and lightweight design, aluminum plays a key role in enabling sustainable and innovative products. At the same time, aluminum producers face growing pressure from volatile energy prices, fluctuating raw-material and scrap availability, global competition, and rapidly changing customer requirements.
Energy intensity remains one of the biggest challenges in aluminum production, from electrolysis and casting to rolling and extrusion. Producers must optimize energy consumption, integrate recycled material efficiently, and meet increasingly strict environmental and carbon-reduction targets. In parallel, high demands for product quality, alloy flexibility, full traceability, and shorter delivery times require precise planning, real-time transparency, and robust process control across complex production routes.
To stay competitive, aluminum manufacturers must balance operational efficiency with sustainability, manage diverse product portfolios, and operate reliably in real time—often while dealing with aging assets, skilled-labor shortages, and growing volumes of production data.
PSI addresses these challenges with advanced digital solutions tailored to the aluminum value chain. Powered by the PSImetals Service Platform – integrating Supply Chain Management (SCM), Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS), and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) – our solutions optimize Planning, Production, Quality, and Logistics. Aluminum producers gain an end-to-end system that improves throughput, reduces energy consumption and emissions, provides the required transparency of production with the data foundation that enables confident, data-driven decisions from casthouse to finished products. Our holistic approach helps aluminum producers master today’s challenges and build a resilient, future-ready operation.

Production management solutions for the aluminum industry
From raw materials and scrap to finished aluminum products delivered to customers, PSI provides powerful and highly configurable production management solutions tailored to the needs of modern aluminum producers. The solution is implemented and configured by our consultants who have metals in the veins. Our systems support the entire aluminum value chain—from strategic planning and detailed scheduling to real-time execution—while managing the complexity of multi-route production, alloy variability, and energy-intensive processes.
At the core is the PSImetals Service Platform, a future-ready foundation designed to evolve with the aluminum industry. Built for high-performance production environments, it enables seamless integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced energy-optimization and decarbonization services. PSI continuously develops solutions aligned with the latest trends in aluminum production, helping producers remain competitive, efficient, and resilient.
Your partner for decarbonization and digitalization
In a rapidly evolving aluminum industry, success means more than adapting—it means leading. With a global footprint and proven success across primary and downstream aluminum producers worldwide, PSI is the trusted partner to optimize production processes, accelerate digital transformation, support decarbonization strategies, and secure long-term competitive advantage.
AMAG has built this innovative plant from scratch. It is the first of its kind in aluminum production. PSI Metals has successfully implemented the software solution in line with our digital strategy and thus the right partner for digitalization. We are thus setting new standards in terms of plannability, quality, reproducibility, processing speed and flexibility.
We trust that PSI has the experience and resources to deliver such a project on time and in budget. The collaboration during the project study phase showed that both teams of Alunorf and PSI can work together very efficiently and collaboratively.
