An artificial eye on your process can provide data you have never seen before
Computer
Vision
Computer vision adds a new dimension to the rolling process. Changes in product dimension, looper height, rolling speed and cobble detection can easily be measured by a camera with a precision unmatched by sensors today.
Enter a new era
Artificial
intelligence
Russula R&D+i is developing artificial intelligence solutions for bar, wire rod and section mills. Many steel producing operations are complex and difficult to model mathematically. But they are controlled by human operators, which makes artificial intelligence an ideal pursuit to automate steel operations. By harnessing the latest technological advancements, we identify opportunities for saving operating costs, improving profit margins and product quality.
Petuum, a leading provider of enterprise artificial intelligence software with multiple office locations in Sunnyvale, CA and Pittsburgh, PA, has entered a strategic partnership with Russula to develop advanced process control solutions powered by Petuum’s Deep Learning Optimization software.
