CISDI is moving into intelligent solutions for the scrap industry.

Ouyeel Blockchain Finance and Metal Recycling Resources has placed an order for intelligent applications at its smart scrap production and operations base.

The plant aims to reduce the number of workers onsite and some tasks will be carried out by automaton. Management will become more transparent and decision-making will be intelligent.

Improvements in scrap production and operations will improve safety, stability and efficiency.

Ouyeel Blockchain is now a core subsidiary of Baowu Group, having previously operated as Maanshan Steel’s scrap processing centre.

The internet of things and artificial intelligence tech will be applied at dozens of its regional scrap bases, including the Chengxing and Zhixin plants.

The applications will transform scrap production, storage, transport, equipment, safety and foreign trade.

Although this is CISDI’s pilot project for the scrap industry, its intelligent logistics have been operating successfully at Baowu Bayi Steel’s hot-rolled coil warehousing system and Baowu Zhanjiang Steel’s reduced-labour wharf.
