Industrial intelligence for DRI plants

Run every kiln closer to optimum.

DRI Optima combines process expertise and AI to help sponge iron teams reduce coal consumption, anticipate failures, improve metallization, and cut unplanned downtime.

Optimization loop

Observe. Predict. Improve.

What plant teams can expect

01

Plant-first discovery

We begin with your process, constraints, data quality, and operating targets—not a generic AI pitch.

02

Measured recommendations

Every recommendation is tied to an agreed operating metric and remains visible to your team.

03

Human-controlled rollout

Operators validate guidance before broader deployment, with no opaque autonomous control.

One operating layer

From raw kiln signals to practical action.

A focused workflow for process heads, shift teams, and plant leadership—designed around the realities of rotary kiln operation.

01

Live kiln intelligence

Turn temperature, pressure, feed, speed, and quality signals into one operating view built for DRI teams.

02

Early risk detection

Identify abnormal process behavior and refractory risk before they become expensive stoppages.

03

Shift-ready recommendations

Give operators clear, contextual actions instead of another dashboard they must interpret alone.

04

Automatic reporting

Create consistent shift, production, energy, and metallization reports without manual consolidation.

Engagements

Start with evidence. Scale with confidence.

Final pricing follows plant scope, data readiness, kiln count, and integration requirements. These packages define a clear path forward.
