system highlights

Self-learning scrap chemistry and metallic yield

Real scrap chemistry and metallic yield are continuously derived from actual production data. Instead of relying on static master data, the system uses a self-learning raw material model that improves the predictability of melt chemistry with every heat, reducing out-of-specification risk and the need for conservative safety buffers.

Combined scrap, DRI/HBI, alloying and energy optimization

Scrap, DRI/HBI, alloy additions and energy consumption are optimized in one integrated approach. By considering actual metallurgical performance, balancing chemical and electrical energy consumption, and downstream process impact, it identifies the most cost-effective and technically robust raw material strategy across the full production route.

Heat-by-heat or campaign optimization

The system supports both heat-by-heat optimization and campaign-level planning across multiple heats. This enables the strategic allocation of scarce raw materials, improves inventory management, and ensures that limited scrap grades or alloy carriers are used where they create the highest overall value.

Executable results for real plant operations

Optimization results are translated into directly executable charging decisions for real plant operations. Technological restrictions, material availabilities, bucket layering rules and other practical shop floor constraints are already embedded in the optimization logic, enabling fully autonomous operation and reducing manual effort in day-to-day decision-making.
