Innovative solutions combining expertise with digital and AI advancements
"One cannot solve problems with the same thinking that created them."
Today's metallurgical challenges demand new ways of thinking. Traditional approaches alone cannot address the complex demands of modern metal production. We go beyond conventional applications to deliver comprehensive solutions that combine domain expertise with cutting-edge digital capabilities and AI, helping leading metal producers tackle complex operational challenges through intelligent innovation.
The first learning steel plant
Our vision comes true
Big River Steel produces pipe grades for pipelines, silicon steels for electrical steel and AHSS grades for the automotive industry on SMS group equipment. As systems supplier for the steel mill complex, SMS group supplied all the equipment, process know-how and automation technology and supported BRS during commissioning.
From the combination with SMS digital's innovative solutions for data infrastructure, digital products and machine learning resulted in the world's first learning steel mill.
