Why Process Expertise Doesn’t Scale —And What Actually Changes That

Discover why process expertise doesn’t scale in steel plants and how explainable decision support changes that. This article explores the limitations of traditional analytics and in-house models, the importance of capturing engineering reasoning, and how consistent, explainable process decision frameworks help teams respond faster and make better choices as conditions change.

How One Global Steel Producer Proved AI Value Quickly — Without Overcomplicating the Pilot

This article describes how a global steel producer evaluated Fero Labs’ explainable AI through a focused proof-of-concept pilot rather than a broad digital transformation. The pilot targeted a common steel mill challenge: manual machine learning model retraining that consumes hundreds of engineering hours each year. By validating model accuracy, enabling real-time retraining, and removing ongoing maintenance, Fero Labs helped the producer demonstrate clear ROI before expanding into additional use cases such as alloy optimization, defect diagnostics, mechanical property prediction, and process optimization. The post outlines a practical, repeatable approach for steel producers, manufacturers, and consultants seeking to deploy industrial AI, scale engineering expertise, improve efficiency, protect product quality, and support more sustainable steel production—without disrupting existing workflows.
