Case Study: Norsk Stål achieves 50% more production orders and reduced waste with SS&C Blue Prism

Norsk Stål Offers Optimized Production with Blue Prism Digital Workers

Norsk Stål, Norway’s leading supplier of steel and metals, needed to optimize production across multiple plants to reduce material waste and meet tight customer deadlines for non‑standard orders. To streamline planning and improve efficiency, Norsk Stål worked with SS&C Blue Prism to introduce digital workers that support production planners and integrate with their ERP and optimization tools.

SS&C Blue Prism’s digital workers, paired with an intelligent optimization algorithm and deployed via a Robots‑as‑a‑Service model on Microsoft Azure, automatically pull approved orders, calculate optimal cutting and production plans, and set up the day’s manufacturing before the morning shift. The SS&C Blue Prism solution let planners focus on strategy and exceptions, enabled about 50% more production orders to be handled, and reduced steel waste through smarter, optimized production.
