AI for the metallurgy industry

2 to 3 months from diagnostic to deployment

Vision quality control, predictive maintenance, process optimisation: we design and deploy custom AI solutions for the metallurgy industry. Sovereign data, French squad, ROI framed from the start.

Sector challenges in 2026

The metallurgy industry faces heavy constraints: demanding quality, critical machines, material and energy costs under pressure. AI acts where it pays off, without rebuilding your production tool.

Quality and scrap rate

Surface or dimensional defects escape manual inspection and are costly in scrap and rework. Vision AI inspects every part in real time, without slowing the pace.

Unplanned machine downtime

A breakdown on a critical line freezes the whole plant. Predictive maintenance anticipates failures from your sensor data and schedules interventions at the right time.

Material and energy costs

Speed, temperature, settings: every parameter weighs on scrap, energy and cycle time. Continuous optimisation adjusts your processes to cut these cost items.

Know-how that is hard to pass on

Expertise rests on a few people and scattered documentation. An AI assistant (RAG) makes all your technical documentation queryable in plain language, with instant answers.

Roles in the sector

AI isn't only for management: it concretely equips every role on your site, from quality control to the shop floor.

Quality

Vision AI detects surface and dimensional defects at the line exit and frees your inspectors from repetitive checks.

Production

Machine parameters are continuously adjusted to cut scrap, energy and cycle time, without constant manual intervention.

Maintenance

Sensor signals are analysed to anticipate failures and schedule interventions before the line stops.

Methods & quoting

Automated quoting generates reliable quotes in minutes from your drawings and cost history.

Industrial management

ROI quantified from the scoping stage and sovereign data to decide fast, with no external technological dependency.

Operators & shop floor

An AI assistant queries all technical documentation in plain language and gives the right answer at the workstation, in real time.

Why StratIA

Sovereignty

Your data stays in France, hosted with OVH or Scaleway, or on-premise. Sovereign models (Mistral) where relevant. GDPR and AI Act compliance handled by design.

French squad

A French team dedicated to your project. Short cycles, weekly demos, continuous user validation. No offshore, no black box.

Framed ROI

ROI is quantified from the scoping stage, the scope is clear, go/no-go decisions are transparent. You know what you pay and what you gain before you start.

Expert insights

In metallurgy, AI doesn't replace your teams: it gives them eyes on the line and a head start on breakdowns. The real point isn't to do AI for AI's sake, but to start from a profitable use case and get it into production fast.

One client case

Client case Metallurgy

AI vision quality control on a rolling line

A supplier in the metallurgical industry, an SME of around a hundred employees in south-west France. AI cameras deployed on a critical rolling line analyse parts at the line exit and correlate the defect rate with machine parameters (speed, temperature, shift). Deployed in 6 weeks, integrated into the existing environment without replacing the MES.


98%of surface defects detected
