Steel & metals
Rupee-scored prescriptions for steel and metals plants
EAF and induction, rolling, and foundry already have meters and SCADA. Stamped is the intelligence layer on that stack: live data, assigned next actions, evidence on the bill. Read-only. No hardware retrofit.

Where the steel bill actually moves
EAF and induction, rolling, forging-foundry, and cooling auxiliaries. Same processes you run.
EAF and induction
Holding between heats is a power bill with no pour. Setback and power-factor sequencing are assigned before the next heat, not after the MD window closes.
Rolling
Stand startups stacked after a break set MD. Sequencing is ranked against mill output, not a flat kW alarm.
Forging and foundry
Hammer, press, and melt peaks overlap with auxiliaries. Idle-auxiliary cuts get a rupee-scored owner on the same playbook as auto-adjacent forging.
Cooling water and fume extraction
Pumps and fans that sit at full flow when rolling output is down. Duty-cycle cuts are ranked against mill rate, not a flat kW alarm.
Example prescriptions
What supervisors receive
Illustrative actions from comparable secondary steel and rolling plants. Your pilot writes these from your meters and bill.
Sequence rolling mill stand startup after morning break
Four stands restarted simultaneously at 06:30 - incomer MD breached by 220 kVA. Stagger over 15 minutes.
₹4-10L/month
Assigned: Rolling mill supervisor
Duty-cycle cooling water pumps during low-production window
CW pumps at 100% flow with 40% rolling output. VFD setpoint adjustment - capital action ranked by payback.
₹1.5-4L/month
Assigned: Utilities / maintenance
Impact ranges are benchmark estimates from comparable plants, not customer guarantees. Verified figures come from your plant with evidence.
What you gain
The floor knows what to do. Leadership sees the evidence.
Indicative language from comparable plants. Your pilot replaces it with plant figures.
Assigned energy moves
Ranked prescriptions on furnace holding, rolling-stand stagger, and idle auxiliaries, without changing the heat recipe.
Stable SEC in the operating band
kWh per heat or per ton vs this plant's route and shift baseline, not a generic dashboard threshold.
Earlier equipment intervention
Power-draw and duty-cycle drift tied to rupee and throughput risk. Not a vibration PdM claim.
FAQ
Common questions
How can steel plants reduce induction furnace electricity consumption?
Holding between heats is power with no pour. Comparable plants using assigned setback and sequencing typically recover a large share of furnace electricity on that idle window. Your pilot replaces indicative bands with plant figures.
What is PAT scheme SEC for steel plants?
PAT tracks specific energy consumption against a notified baseline. Stamped keeps a rupee-scored SEC ledger from meters and the bill. That is evidence support, not PAT consulting or an audit.
How does Stamped help rolling mills with maximum demand?
Stacked stand startups after a break are a common MD spike. Stamped assigns stagger before the billing window closes and ties the rupee impact to the mill supervisor.
