China Iron and Steel Association: AI empowers the steel industry to shift from "experience-based steelmaking" to "data-driven steelmaking"

Beijing News Shell Finance Report (Reporter Zhu Yueyi) On October 30, at the third-quarter press conference, the China Iron and Steel Association stated that as a new round of technological revolution accelerates its integration with the steel industry, the "experience-based steelmaking" production model, which relies on eyesight and feel, is upgrading to "data-driven steelmaking" achieved through digital technology and AI large models.

According to Tang Zujun, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Vice Chairman, and Spokesperson of the China Iron and Steel Association, Baosteel's world's first AI smart blast furnace has officially begun tapping iron; Hegang Weisaibo 2.0 full-domain large model, Hunan Steel Pangu large model, Nangang Yuanzhi steel large model, and Liugang Xuantie large model have been implemented and applied; Ansteel, through AI-empowered production management, can achieve annual cost reductions of more than 17 million yuan; and at Tangsteel, more than 90% of process scenarios have achieved digital application, with steelmaking efficiency increased by 10.3%. Embodied intelligence algorithms have been integrated into production lines, and the coverage of unmanned operations continues to expand, not only greatly improving labor efficiency, production safety, and operational precision, but also providing strong support for coordinated production organization and cost reduction, quality improvement, and efficiency enhancement.

In January 2024, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the "Work Plan for the Digital Transformation of the Raw Materials Industry (2024-2026)" (the "Action Plan"), proposing that by 2026, the digital transformation of the steel industry will shift from single-point breakthroughs and partial applications to systematic and overall development. Specific goals include: the numerical control rate of key processes reaching 80%, the digitalization rate of production equipment reaching 55%, and the machine substitution rate for 3D positions reaching 40%; building about 6 industrial internet platforms and cultivating more than 30 excellent system solution suppliers; selecting more than 30 typical digital transformation scenarios and about 15 benchmark digital transformation factories, and promoting the deep integration of a new generation of information technology with the steel industry.

Tang Zujun stated that this year is the final year of the Action Plan. Over the past three years, the steel industry has adhered to scenario-driven and innovation-driven development, and digital transformation has moved from pilot exploration to systematic advancement, and from partial breakthroughs to overall improvement. Basic capabilities such as the industrial internet, cybersecurity, and data governance have continued to strengthen, and innovative scenario applications such as enterprise energy management, safety control, logistics and warehousing, and production process optimization have increased significantly, with the digital and intelligent engine activating new momentum for steel production.
