Intelligent Automation for Steel, Aluminium & Non-Ferrous Metals
From smelting and casting to rolling and finishing, MavenProTech delivers advanced process control, predictive asset health, and real-time quality management to boost yield and reduce energy per tonne.
Meeting the Demands of Metals Production
Metallurgical Quality
Achieving consistent mechanical properties — tensile strength, hardness, and grain structure — across heats and rolling campaigns requires tight temperature and chemistry control throughout the process chain.
Energy & Yield
Electric arc furnaces, reheat furnaces, and rolling mills consume enormous energy. Minimising specific energy per tonne while maximising first-pass yield is critical for margin in volatile commodity markets.
Asset Reliability
High-temperature furnaces, heavy-duty rolling stands, and continuous casters operate in extreme conditions. Unplanned downtime on a single stand can halt the entire production line.

Reheat Furnace Optimisation
Deploy MAVEN APC on walking beam and pusher furnaces to optimise zone temperatures based on incoming slab grade and dimensions, minimising fuel consumption while ensuring uniform discharge temperature for the rolling mill.
- 5-10% reduction in specific fuel consumption
- Reduced scale loss through tighter temperature control
- Grade-aware heating curves with automated transitions
Hot Strip Mill Thickness & Flatness
Use MAVEN APC with MAVEN SPC to control strip thickness, width, and flatness across roughing and finishing stands — monitoring gauge deviation in real time and adjusting roll gap, speed, and cooling to hold tolerance.
- Tighter thickness tolerance reduces downgrading
- Real-time flatness monitoring with Cpk trending
- Automated cobble detection and stand protection
EAF Power & Chemistry Control
Optimise electric arc furnace electrode positioning, oxygen injection, and alloy additions with MAVEN APC and MAVEN BATCH to reduce tap-to-tap time, lower electrode consumption, and hit target steel chemistry first time.
- Reduced tap-to-tap time and electrode wear
- First-hit chemistry accuracy improvement
- Full heat traceability with electronic batch records
