 U.S. Steel Looks to Forge High-Tech Future at Mills New and Old

The Wall Street Journal, Isabelle Bousquette, December 1, 2022

U.S. Steel Corp. is looking to implement artificial intelligence (AI) across its mills, although it has proven difficult to deploy AI technology at its older mills. Some of the equipment at U.S. Steel's 110-year-old Gary Works mill in Indiana, for instance, dates to the 1950s and 1960s. U.S. Steel's Christian Holliday said each mill needs its own AI model based on its unique environment. However, machines at older mills must be retrofit with sensors and cameras to collect the necessary data, and they often lack wireless network capacity for sensors. Nevertheless, machine-learning algorithms are being implemented at Gary Works to boost efficiency, and a digital twin is being developed to predict finish times and optimize output. ... '
