Digital revolution - Industry 4.0

Digitalization has changed our world in many ways, from how we communicate and work, to our everyday activities. It drives innovation and enables us to adapt to an increasingly connected and data-driven world.

Unleashing digital possibilities

Comprehensive perspective on digitalization within Swiss Steel Group.

Digitalization is a driving force enabling more efficient production processes and enhanced quality control. It revolutionizes how we produce and advance steel.

Swiss Steel Group relies on data warehouses to comprehensively monitor material quality throughout the entire processing process. Additionally, we are exploring new approaches to scrap sourcing through strategic partnerships, supported by digital technologies.

Quality is produced – not inspected

Nevertheless, producing high-quality steels requires testing, not least to assure both us and the customer of flawless and specification-compliant products.

At our production sites, we use automated systems for many standard tests, such as operational ultrasonic and surface crack detection. These systems deliver highly accurate and reproducible results, also providing reliable data during the evaluation of test outcomes.

Our chemical laboratories monitor the melting process almost simultaneously – this constant supervision leads to increasingly precise and therefore more reproducible products. The testing laboratories are equipped with automated sample preparation and digitized testing machines, staying at the cutting edge of technology.
