Case Study: Constellium achieves real-time operational visibility and increased furnace efficiency with Domo

Constellium refines its aluminum recycling capabilities with Domo

Constellium, a leading aluminum producer whose Muscle Shoals recycling facility repurposes about 20 billion cans a year, faced coordination and visibility challenges in its complex recycling process — from scrap consolidation and high-temperature smelting to transporting molten aluminum between buildings and balancing alloy chemistry. Workers relied on walkie-talkies, phones and manual tracking, which slowed decisions and raised the risk of delays, chemistry errors and downtime.

To solve this, the plant built a custom Domo business app used by managers, operators and truck drivers to monitor material location, truck position and batch chemistry in real time with color-coded alerts and 24/7 access. The app eliminated time-consuming manual communication, enabled remote intervention, increased furnace efficiency so more trucks run per shift, sped decision-making from minutes to seconds, and reduced surprises and corrective work downstream.
