Abstract

Revolutionizing scrap management in electric steelmaking! A game-changing AI solution is transforming how steel plants handle one of their biggest challenges – scrap classification and quality control. Traditional scrap yard operations often face uncertainty in input material quality, leading to inconsistent steel production. Through advanced computer vision and AI algorithms, steel producers can now monitor and classify scrap types in real-time during the entire handling process. The automated scrap identification system Scrap Type Monitor of Primetals Technologies uses optical monitoring to track scrap quality continuously, ensuring precise classification and preventing costly mix-ups. This AI-powered solution helps achieve superior process control, reproducible steel quality and optimizes the entire logistics chain.
