Severstal uses Artificial Intelligence to further boost productivity at Cherepovets Steel Mill

A team of specialists from Severstal Digital, part of PAO Severstal, one of the world’s largest steel and steel-related mining businesses, working with experts in flat rolled products from the Cherepovets Steel Mill have successfully increased the productivity of a machine learning model that controls the speed of the Mill’s continuous pickling line #3 (NTA-3).

Adelina, a digital model in use at Severstal’s continuous pickling line #3 (NTA-3) since November 2019, has now been joined by “Ruban”, a new artificial intelligence agent based on a deep – reinforcement learning algorithm. Both products were developed by Severstal in-house using open source applications.
