Optimizing the steel supply chain with AI
Software & Internet
Information
This project brings together AI and enterprise resource planning (ERP) modernization to address longstanding inefficiencies in the steel manufacturing sector. By deploying four AI modules within a reengineered ERP system, the initiative enhances procurement automation, strategic bidding, inventory optimization, and access to technical data. A supply optimization engine synchronizes steel purchasing with production timelines, reducing material costs and delays. A smart bidding assistant leverages historical data to streamline quote preparation and improve win rates. Predictive inventory management recalibrates reorder points for steel plates, targeting a reduction in inventory without compromising production flow. Finally, a technical search engine, featuring an intelligent chatbot and contextual search bar, centralizes operational knowledge and accelerates internal decision-making. Together, these tools reinforce industrial performance by embedding real-time intelligence and process automation into mission-critical workflows.
