In a blog post on its website, the company said the committee is made up of ArcelorMittal USA chief technology officer Al Barsophy, process automation division manager Jim Hendrickson and Jerry Yothment, ArcelorMittal USA general manager, IT. 

“There is no question that digitalization is going to enable us to solve problems that in the past were not solvable,” said Barsophy.

“As these technologies mature and we learn where to apply these powerful problem-solving approaches, digitalization will start contributing significantly to our USA bottom line,” he added.
