Case Study: a major international mining & metallurgical company achieves faster AI-driven manufacturing optimization with Capgemini

Activate AI for Manufacturing processes

A major international mining and metallurgical company sought to test artificial intelligence to produce higher quality metal at a lower cost. Their challenge involved launching AI experiments with a strong collaboration between business and IT and establishing an iterative, scalable approach. They partnered with Capgemini, utilizing their Invent service, to build an AI factory and demonstrate value in their metallurgic processes.

Capgemini developed a C-Level sponsored roadmap and a pragmatic data governance approach, helping to align all stakeholders on an operating model. This solution enabled the manufacturer to deliver live AI products in less than four months. The results were significant, including a 40% reduction in FeSi consumption and a 25% to 50% reduction in furnace production time for one project, leading to annual cash flow savings of €2.1 million.
