Korea Iron & Steel (KISCO)
AI video analysis for scrap classification and truck inspection
KISCO demonstrated an AI scrap-classification system with reported accuracy of up to 90%
Problem
Scrap grading depended on inspectors' visual judgments, creating differences in quality assessments. The industry also faced difficulty recruiting inspection staff.
Approach
A government-supported development program demonstrated Bogonet's AI video-analysis system at KISCO's Changwon plant in November 2025. It covered scrap charging analysis and incoming-truck inspection. Vehicle tracking helped the system locate trucks arriving to unload scrap.
Results
Takeaway
The reported accuracy concerned a demonstrated classification system. Broader industry deployment remained prospective.
