Successful Use Case Applications of Artificial Intelligence in the Steel Industry (Room 315)

The availability of large amounts of data from connected processes and breakthrough innovations in computing tools create exciting opportunities for applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the steel industry. Data-driven predictive analytics and machine learning are already playing a significant role in shaping the intelligent plant of the future. Combining long-standing process expertise with a modern digital infrastructure, Danieli Automation has included AI as a strategic asset in its DIGI&MET smart factory model. As illustrated through this paper, business benefits guaranteed from this model are already clear from the operational feedback of several real-life experiences from steelmaking to rolling and finishing lines.
