Fero Labs: Together we'll build a sustainable tomorrow
Steel
Carinthian steelmakers use AI to accurately measure alloying additives and reduce costs
The pilot project for the use of Fero Labs AI at SIJ Metal Ravne is focused on optimizing alloying in real time and predicting the mechanical properties of the steels they produce. The SIJ Group has built its digital transformation on four pillars; learn more about their experiences using AI in steel production at the Smart Factory Good Practices event, which will be held in Kranj on March 18th.

Discover how Fero helps process engineers evaluate interacting variables, uncover root causes of performance change, simulate adjustments, and support live decisions in steel plant operations.
After a Disappointing Digital Rollout: Four Things Steel Mills Do Differently Next Time
Proven digital transformation in steelmaking isn’t about hype — it’s about how you deploy. In this article, we analyze why around 70% of digital projects underperform and detail how mills that rebound do so by redefining their approach: precise problem definition, minimal scope, workflow-aligned integration, and rigorous tech evaluation. If a past deployment failed at your mill, learn the practical criteria and steps other operations used to turn the next one into a success.
When Caster Breakouts Break the P&L: Ending Sequential Troubleshooting in the Melt Shop
When a caster breakout occurs, the real damage isn’t just scrap—it’s lost throughput, diverted experts, and slow diagnosis. Discover how AI can replace biased, step-by-step root cause hunts with holistic, high-confidence diagnosis for continuous casting.
