The reliable spine
The non-AI spine is the source-linked workflow: clean records, rules, calculations, integrations, exception queues, approvals and reporting for Leak and recovery detection.
Metals, Foundries & Steel
Leak and recovery detection
The plant is profitable on paper but leaks rupees through hundreds of small mismatches nobody has time to catch: scrap and ferro-alloy bills above the agreed rate, weighbridge short-weights, freight billed over the rate card, missed quantity and rebate terms, off-spec material accepted and paid at full rate, yield silently below the costed assumption. Because metal and freight are most of the cost, the leak here is larger in absolute rupees than in almost any other industry, and it is the client's own money with a line-level trail.
Who has it
Every segment, and the usual first paid build; heaviest where metal spend dominates the cost, which is foundries, re-rolling mills, forging and heat-treatment units and scrap and metal traders.
What we build
A read-only sweep across the plant's own purchase orders, weighbridge tickets, GRNs, scrap and ferro-alloy invoices, rate cards and freight bills that surfaces money already lost or about to be, with a line-level trail, then a recurring sweep that keeps catching leaks each cycle. This is the read-only "find the money in your own data" Diagnostic demo, and in metals it usually starts at the scrap and freight bill.
What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.
Where AI helps
AI is limited to bounded reading, extraction, matching, clustering or drafting from the firm's own data for Leak and recovery detection; it never owns the number, the approval, the promise or the decision.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
What changes day to day
A quantified, line-level recovery report, then a recurring sweep. This is the safest and most provable first paid win. Illustrative: a re-rolling mill cleaned its scrap-rate and weighbridge checks against agreed rates and recovered a meaningful amount, all auditable to its own tickets and invoices. Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
