In an announcement, Noodle.ai said it will deploy its Enterprise AI® Applications to enable probabilistic, pattern-based decisions-making at the plants, as opposed to rules-based decision-making.

Noodle.ai said its applications will allow SSAB to utilize sensor data and pair it with external data to anticipate and plan for key variables affecting business operations including asset uptime, product quality and production flow. The applications will learn to identify patterns in complex combinations and production variations, predict costly product quality issues, and detect opportunities to recommend plant-wide optimizations to increase profit, it said. 

 “We are excited to implement new digitalization technologies and to explore how the application of Enterprise AI can impact our performance and create a competitive advantage,” said Tom Toner, vice president of operations for SSAB Americas. “Our goal is to learn how we can increase efficiency and decrease any bottlenecks in our operations with this advanced technology.”
