Manually Verified Certificates
Chemical and mechanical values on EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificates are read from PDFs and compared to standard limits by hand, one by one. Slow and error-prone.
R&D & Innovation
Digital Transformation Across the Steel Value Chain
Exporting to more than 22 countries showed us where the industry loses time. We started a research and development initiative to automate certificate verification, standard equivalency and carbon traceability with artificial intelligence.
R&D Stage — In Development
Unsolved Problems in the Industry
Broken CBAM Carbon Data
Product-level embedded emissions reporting is mandatory for exports to the EU. Yet collecting real emission data from billet, bloom and ferro alloy suppliers remains an unsolved problem for most exporters.
Standards Complexity
A customer asks for a DIN or JIS grade while the EN or ASME counterpart sits in stock. Not being able to verify equivalency and substitutability instantly costs both sales and idle inventory.
Our R&D Focus Areas
Document Intelligence
Turning chemical analysis and mechanical test values from scanned or PDF mill test certificates into structured data.
Standards Validation Engine
Automatically checking extracted values against the min/max limits of the relevant product standard (EN 10083, EN 10025, ASME Sec. II and others) and flagging deviations.
Digital Product Passport
Combining heat number, grade data, test results and carbon figures into a single verifiable record, with QR-based traceability that travels with the shipment.
Cloud-Native Architecture
A scalable, secure and auditable stack built on managed document-processing services, large language models and encrypted document storage.

Our Flagship Project
SteelCertX
From Certificate to Digital Product Passport
We are developing an AI-assisted system that reads a scanned mill test certificate, validates its values against the relevant product standard, and combines them with carbon data into a traceable product passport.
