Digitizing Metal Production: Pulse Digital’s End-to-End Solution for the Metals Industry

Transforming Steel, Casting, and Rolling Operations with Smart Manufacturing Tools

The metals industry is characterized by high-volume, capital-intensive operations, long production cycles, and strict quality requirements. From meltshops and rolling mills to casting and finishing lines, manufacturers face increasing pressure to improve productivity, minimize waste, and ensure compliance across complex production environments.

Pulse Digital delivers a specialized digital solution crafted specifically for the metals industry. Whether you’re operating an integrated plant, hot or cold rolling mill, or tube & pipe facility, our platform gives you complete control over planning, production, quality, and logistics—from order intake to final shipment.

Built for the Realities of Metal Manufacturing

1. Tailored to Complex Metal Production Processes

Unlike generic ERP or MES tools, Pulse Digital is designed to support the unique workflows of the metals industry, including:

   •   Meltshop and ladle management

   •   Hot and cold rolling line coordination

   •   Continuous casting process control

   •   Tube, pipe, and coil production

   •   Railway wheel and long product workflows

   •   Integration with lab testing and quality data systems

Pulse Digital brings all these processes into a unified platform, enabling seamless coordination from the shop floor to management.

2. Advanced Production Planning & Scheduling

Our APS engine enables you to:

   •   Optimize resource allocation across shift schedules and rolling programs

   •   Manage casting and rolling sequences to minimize waste and setup time

   •   Predict delivery times and balance capacity against incoming orders

The result? Fewer bottlenecks, reduced downtime, and higher throughput—without sacrificing flexibility.

3. Real-Time Process Monitoring

Pulse Digital’s Manufacturing Execution System (MES) captures live data from machines, operators, and smart sensors. This enables:

   •   Full traceability of heats, coils, and batches

   •   Monitoring of critical production parameters (temperature, speed, load, etc.)

   •   Immediate alerts on process deviations or quality issues

4. Integrated Quality Management & Certification

Ensure your materials meet international standards (ISO, ASTM, EN, etc.) with Pulse Digital’s QMS features:

   •   Quality control checks at every stage

   •   Integration with lab test results

   •   Automatic generation of quality certificates

   •   Non-conformance tracking and corrective actions

Key Capabilities for the Metals Industry

   •   Heat and batch traceability from melt to shipment

   •   Energy and raw material consumption tracking

   •   Digital storage and logistics coordination

   •   Real-time dashboards for production, quality, and performance

   •   Rolling mill setup optimization and simulation tools

   •   Integration with warehouse management and weighbridge systems
