Case Study: a steel pipe manufacturer achieves 20% trim waste reduction with Greycon X-Trim

Steel Pipe Manufacturer - Customer Case Study

A steel pipe manufacturer based in LATAM was looking to reduce the scrap produced by their slitters. To address this challenge, they implemented the X-Trim trimming optimisation solution from Greycon.

Greycon's X-Trim software was used to optimise the slitters and reduce trim waste, while also serving as a BI analytics tool. The solution delivered a 20% reduction in trim waste, from 2.04% to 1.65%, and achieved a return on investment in less than two months. Greycon's system was fully operational within five weeks and also significantly reduced the aging of both stripes inventory and raw material.
