AI safety monitoring on billet production lines
Press Metal invested RM6.6 million in phased digital transformation including AI safety monitoring
Problem
Production abnormalities required prompt intervention. Manual identification could delay responses to cooling-system problems.
Approach
Press Metal introduced an AI Safety Production Management System on billet lines. Sensors monitored production conditions and cooling water, while alerts went to authorized personnel. The phased deployment began in 2024 across Sarawak and China.
Results
Takeaway
The system connected abnormal-condition detection with staff alerts. Press Metal did not disclose a quantified reduction in incidents.
