Predictive AI on steel plants and computer vision for safety
EMSTEEL used predictive AI on its furnaces and rolling mills and computer vision on its safety cameras
Problem
Steel plants run energy-hungry furnaces, direct reduction plants and rolling mills, and workers face safety risks on the floor. EMSTEEL wanted better environmental and financial performance and fewer safety breaches.
Approach
EMSTEEL used predictive AI tools to adjust parameters on its electric arc furnaces, direct reduction plants and rolling mills. Computer vision on safety cameras detects missing protective equipment and unsafe behaviour. A private 5G network connects sensors, drones and cameras. The article says the company had rolled out more than 30 AI solutions.
