Steel

From furnace to finished products, precision at every step.

In every metal plant, optimisation is key. Waiting times can be disastrous, resulting in decreased yield, mismanaged quality and an overall loss of profitability. Through our autonomous solution, we manage the sequential logistics within the operations and ensure maximised output, controlled by your KPIs.

The challenge

The heat doesn't wait. Most schedulers do.

01

Goals

Outdated schedulers cannot accommodate all operational goals. With shifting priorities, all plans fail in operation.

02

Sequencing

Dozens of choices across multiple decision points. Getting the order right is a planning problem that requires continuous real-time optimisation, which static schedules cannot sustain.

03

Coordination

Delays in operation are frequent, causing cycle disruption due to precise timings both in upstream and downstream processes.

How Polaris works

A system that thinks in possibilities, not limitations.

Our solutions provide a live model of the operations, ensuring that all assets, manual and autonomous, are in the loop. This enables autonomous re-evaluation of plans every few seconds.

When operations are delayed, our systems do not fall back to a contingency table. We re-solve the full problem in a couple of seconds, ensuring all KPIs are reached.

Capabilities

From tap to cast, every step optimised.

Operational Logistics

Real-time routing of any transport based on urgency, availability and queue states, ensuring that all goals are reached, without the need for operators.

Process Scheduling

Charge sequencing for furnaces that maximises overall utilisation, reduces waiting times, and coordinates with upstream supply and downstream demand.

KPI Optimisation

Every decision is scored against internal KPIs, ensuring that every task and every execution reaches its maximal optimisation within operational constraints, fully autonomously.

Production Sequencing

End-to-end autonomous coordination from furnaces to casting, maximising throughput while respecting capacity, for both robotic and manual processes.
