Turn raw data to real intelligence with Industrial AI
Optimize production performance, elevate quality and unlock sustainable growth with Adaptive, Predictive, and Generative Industrial AI - purpose-built for metals production.
PSI delivers reliable, secure and stable infrastructure, providing traceable and explainable results based on facts rather than assumptions that empowers metals producers to safely and effectively apply AI to their transformation processes. By embedding AI directly into the Factory Model, the digital twin of your production environment, PSI connects processes, systems and decisions across the entire value chain.
From AI potential to reality: Key applications in metals production
- Enhance product quality & prediction: Use AI to predict scrap, forecast material properties, and perform real-time quality analysis.
- Optimize production & costs: Get AI recommendations for process parameters, energy consumption, and material costs.
- Increase asset reliability: Implement predictive maintenance by forecasting equipment failures to minimize unplanned downtime.
- Improve planning & scheduling: Dynamically adjust production plans in real-time to mitigate the impact of disruptions.
PSImetals embedded chatbot assistant
The Factory Model and documentation chatbot using PSImetals MCP (Model Context Protocol) transforms how production teams interact with operational knowledge. It goes beyond complex dashboards by integrating disparate data sources, from machine data to technical documentation, into a single conversational AI. Instead of navigating complex dashboards or searching across multiple systems, operators and planners can simply ask questions and receive immediate, context-aware answers. By unifying data and knowledge in a conversational interface, PSImetals democratizes access to production intelligence enabling faster decisions, reduced response times and more confident operations.
Benefits at a glance
-
Instant production insights
Empowers operators with direct access to data-driven answers for critical production questions. The conversational AI queries and interprets complex, real-time data from multiple systems, replacing manual analysis and eliminating decision-making based on assumptions.
-
Automated data synthesis
Reduces time spent on manual data investigation. The MCP automatically connects to and synthesizes information from disparate sources, including production systems and technical documentation, presenting a single, unified answer to the operator.
-
Operation efficiency
Increases overall operational efficiency by minimizing the time between problem identification and resolution. By providing immediate root cause analysis for production delays, the system enables teams to take corrective action faster, reducing downtime and improving throughput.
Telegram anomaly detection - prevent costly downtime before it happens
PSImetals Telegram Anomaly Detection uses AI-driven Level-2 monitoring to safeguard production stability by continuously analyzing the high-volume data exchange between automation and control systems. The AI agent detects subtle digital anomalies, like a lost or out-of-order data telegram, that often signal emerging system failures long before alarms are triggered. By transforming hidden communication errors into clear operational intelligence, your team receives immediate, actionable diagnostics that pinpoint the exact root cause, dramatically reducing investigation time and empowering you to minimize production stops.
Benefits at a glance
-
More production efficiency
Ensures greater production continuity and minimizes revenue loss by preventing minor digital events from escalating into major disruptions. The system provides early warnings by detecting subtle anomalies in control system data that precede unplanned downtime.
-
Instant answers to questions
Empowers maintenance teams by replacing vague system alarms with precise, actionable diagnostics. The agent pinpoints the exact digital event causing the failure, enabling engineers to bypass lengthy manual investigations and focus immediately on the correct solution.
-
Improved incident response
Accelerates the resolution of critical production stops from hours to minutes. By instantly identifying the digital root cause of a fault, the system eliminates the time-consuming diagnostic phase, significantly reducing the mean time to repair.
Mechanical Property model
Transform your quality control from inspection to prediction with our AI for Mechanical Property Prediction. This powerful model moves beyond costly end-of-line testing, analyzing the "digital DNA" of your product by continuously monitoring live process data in real-time. It accurately forecasts final mechanical properties like strength and hardness, enabling operators to correct deviations before they result in scrap or rework. This ensures first-time-right quality, guarantees consistency, and significantly reduces material waste.
Benefits at a glance
-
Optimized production
Reduces costs by identifying non-conforming material during the production process instead of after. This proactive detection allows for immediate correction, preventing the waste of energy, time, and resources on material that would otherwise be scrapped or require costly rework.
-
Uniform product consistency
Every product meets precise customer specifications. By continuously forecasting final mechanical properties, the system enables tighter control over process variables. This leads to more uniform and reliable output, ultimately boosting your overall quality scores.
-
Improved OTIF delivery
The model ensures predictable product quality, minimizing production disruptions caused by rework or scrap. This leads to a more stable throughput, allowing you to confidently meet customer deadlines.
Further highlights
Machine learning boosted Mid‑Term Line Scheduling
Enhanced Line Scheduler algorithm combines advanced optimization and machine learning to generate higher quality schedules in reduced run time on the mid term horizon. It automatically respects detailed metallurgical and operational constraints down to the minute, supporting improved hot charging scheduling and throughput.
AI-Driven schedule analysis and energy optimization
AI-Driven schedule analysis and energy optimization that continuously adjusts production plans based on live data and current business priorities. It connects to your planning and MES landscape to optimize KPIs and energy use dynamically, rather than locking you into rigid, brittle schedules.
