Steel Bar Cutting Optimisation
Steel Bar Cutting Optimisation
The manufacturing industry has a critical need for efficient and cost-effective methods for cutting steel bars. Traditional methods rely on human operators to make precise measurements and cuts, which can be time-consuming, expensive, and prone to errors. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a potential solution to this problem. In this white paper, we propose an AI-based solution for optimizing the cutting of steel bars to minimize wastage.
Solution Overview
Our proposed solution is an AI-based system that uses machine learning algorithms to optimize the cutting process. The system comprises of the following components:
Machine Learning Algorithm: The machine learning algorithm uses yearly sales data with different product codes and length to to learn and train model to determine demand patterns of various product code and length. The prescriptive solution will then predict the demand pattern of various length at different period during the year. the optimization algorithm will then base on these demand patterns to recommend cutting position and keep the left over steal bar for the next cutting so as to reduce wastages. The algorithm learns from the data collected over time to identify patterns and make predictions about when and where to cut the steel bar. The algorithm also takes into account the specific dimensions of the steel bar and the desired length of the final product.
Cutting Machine: The cutting machine receives the instructions from the machine learning algorithm and makes the cuts accordingly. The machine is equipped with a high-speed cutting blade that can cut through the steel bar with precision and accuracy.
Quality Control System: The quality control system checks the final product for accuracy and quality. The system uses computer vision to compare the final product with the desired dimensions and checks for any defects.
