The importance of data standardization

In the realm of business, data standardization holds significant value due to several compelling reasons. This is especially true for the steel industry for oil and gas. In this blog post we highlight 4 most important reasons why the implementation of a standardized format can help you. 

The carbon footprint of the steel supply chain

Steelmaking is a complex process that involves several energy-intensive steps and which can generate significant amounts of carbon dioxide.  McKinsey & Company indicates that one metric ton of steel produces 1.8 metric tons of CO2. New regulations focusing on sustainability are now requesting companies to reduce their emissions. For this reason, several players in the steel industry are actively looking for ways to decarbonize their processes.

5 Ways SteelTrace Enhances Quality Management for a Steel Supply Chain

Quality management plays a critical role in the steel supply chain, due to the requirements, standards, specifications and customer expectations. Quality Assurance and Quality Control are two key aspects of it, which despite having some differences, are both focusing on ensuring quality. Currently, quality managers faces several challenges, since the quality management processes are manual, time-consuming, and opaque processes prone to human error and unauthorised data manipulation. However, SteelTrace can resolve these issues.

The digital future of the steel industry

In today’s fast-paced world, constant advancements and innovations are shaping the future of manufacturing processes in the steel industry. In this blog post, we will explore two crucial aspects that are revolutionizing the industry: the digital Manufacturing Record Books (MRBs) and the fight against counterfeit certificates. These developments hold great promise for enhancing efficiency, ensuring product quality, and maintaining the integrity of the steel supply chain.

How AUT can be employed for pipeline component inspection

Automated Ultrasonic Testing (AUT) is a non-destructive testing technique that uses ultrasonic waves to inspect the integrity of materials and detect flaws or defects. AUT involves the same components as manual UT (a transducer and a data visualization equipment), but the scanners move the probe(s) automatically. For MUT, the person carrying out the inspection is in control, whereas with AUT the parameters — i.e., speed and data recordings — are controlled through the AUT equipment, thus eliminating the need for inspector control.
