Fero Labs: Together we'll build a sustainable tomorrow
Machine Learning
This is Where Your Steel Mill Is Bleeding >$1.5M Annually
Steel mills are losing millions annually through inefficient alloy optimization systems that over-alloy by 15-20%. Although most plants have existing alloy optimization initiatives, traditional statistical methods and internal machine learning projects fail due to data complexity, model degradation, and lack of transparency. Advanced white-box ML systems with real-time adaptation have proven to reduce alloy costs by $3+ per ton while improving quality consistency by 15% and reducing environmental impact. Successful implementation requires gradual deployment, operator training, and change management strategies documented in an award-winning technical research paper by Gerdau and their partner Fero Labs, showing sustained results across thousands of production heats.
Key Benefits: $3/ton alloy cost reduction • 15% quality improvement • 66% process capability enhancement • 500K+ lbs material waste elimination • Real-time mechanical property prediction • Automated model maintenance • White-box transparency for operator trust
