Evaluates real-time scrap yard inventory, residual copper/tin concentrations, and spot market pricing to generate optimal furnace charge mixes.
The Operational Challenge
Scrap buyers overpay for premium shredded and busheling scrap grades because manual spreadsheets fail to balance volatile scrap yard prices against chemical residual limits.
Without autonomous software intelligence, organizations face exponential operational labor drag, transcription error rates exceeding 8%, and compounding response delays that jeopardize enterprise SLAs.
Solution Architecture
Ingests scrap grades (HMS 1/2, Shredded, Busheling, DRI, Pig Iron) and spot market price sheets.
Solves non-linear mass-balance equations to calculate the lowest-cost bucket recipe meeting copper and sulfur limits.
Sends digital charge recipes directly to scrap yard crane operators with scale weight targets.
Continuously updates supplier scrap residual indices based on actual spectrometer melt recovery results.
Enterprise Security & Compliance
All data processing executes in isolated single-tenant environments. Proprietary company records, documents, and client communications are strictly encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256) with zero model retention and no external training on customer data.
Deployment Sprint
Week 1: Connect scrap scale databases, inventory management software, and spectrometer logs.
Week 2: Configure chemical residual constraints (Cu, Sn, Ni, Cr, Mo) for all steel grades.
Week 3: Pilot charge optimization recipes with melt-shop metallurgists.
Week 4: Full deployment across scrap yard crane terminals and furnace pulpits.
Technical & Operational FAQ
It assigns dynamic probabilistic residual ranges to each scrap supplier based on historical melt recovery data, avoiding off-spec copper spikes.
Yes. The mass-balance model accounts for gangue content, carbon percentage, and metallization yield across DRI and HBI inputs.
Recipes display on ruggedized crane cab touch screens, guiding the operator to load exact target weights from each scrap bay.
Purchasing teams can update spot prices daily, weekly, or in real time as market pricing sheets fluctuate.
Yes. It supports 100% cold scrap EAF charges as well as hot metal/scrap ratio optimization for BOF converter vessels.
Given that raw materials represent over 60% of steel production cost, saving $8–$14 per ton provides immediate payback within weeks.
