Material Intelligence
for Steel Operations
From ore yard to furnace tap-hole — ρ-MATRIQS™ gives steel plants real-time visibility into every material stream, enabling better blending, lower operating costs, and consistent output quality.
Steel Plants Have Always Guessed at Material Quality
Lab samples take hours. Visual inspection misses what eyes cannot see. Meanwhile, poor-quality material enters the furnace and you only find out when the heat goes wrong. ρ-MATRIQS™ eliminates guesswork.
From Ore Yard to Furnace Tap-Hole
Six critical control points where real-time material intelligence reduces costs, improves yield, and builds ESG data — simultaneously.
Blast Furnace Burden Control
Real-time iron ore, sinter, coke, and pellet quality tracking. The AI reads each material stream as it arrives and recommends blend adjustments before material enters the furnace — not after.
DRI / HBI Quality Monitoring
Continuous metallisation degree and gangue content monitoring for direct reduced iron. Know your DRI quality in real time — so you can adjust the feed before it affects shaft furnace performance.
EAF Scrap Grading
Automatic classification of scrap grades — HMS1, HMS2, shred, and stainless — as material arrives on the yard. Builds optimised charge mixes that hit target chemistry first time, every heat.
Sinter Feed Blend Optimisation
Multi-ore blending guidance for consistent sinter quality and basicity. Reduces return fines, improves cold strength, and cuts the energy cost of re-sintering off-spec material.
Coal & Coke Quality
Real-time ash and sulphur tracking in coking coal blends. Ensures consistent coke quality for the blast furnace — reducing the risk of high coke rates or furnace instability.
ESG & Carbon Tracking
Every material decision is logged with its CO₂ footprint. Gives you the data to optimise for carbon intensity — not just cost — as environmental regulations tighten.
From Ore Yard to Control Room
The system works in advisory mode — presenting recommendations to your operators — or in fully automated control mode, where it directly drives sorting gates, blend bins, or DCS outputs. You choose the level of automation that suits your operation.
Before and After ρ-MATRIQS™
This system pays for itself through recovered material and reduced operating cost — not cost savings alone.
See It Running on Steel
We can run ρ-MATRIQS™ on samples from your own ore yard or scrap bay and show you what you have been missing. No cost. No commitment.
