On the 19th, Hyundai Steel held the 3rd AI·BIG DATA Festival at the Hyundai Steel Training Center in Dangjin, Chungnam, and on the 20th announced that it awarded 15 outstanding projects among 36 smart factory-related tasks carried out by each business division.

One of the selected excellent projects, "Development of a Nitrogen Behavior Prediction Model Based on Steelmaking Converter Simulation," applied a simulation model using big data to control nitrogen factors in the steelmaking converter process. As a result of applying it to actual process improvements, the accuracy of nitrogen content in products increased, optimizing molten steel production.

The project "Optimization of Casting Width Combination for Thick Plate and Slab Design" also attracted attention. To produce thick plates, process conditions must be manually specified to design slabs according to customer orders. However, by performing design simulations developed based on actual thick plate orders, an optimized casting width combination was derived, enabling production cost reduction.

Suh Kang-hyun, CEO of Hyundai Steel, said, "We hope that the smart factory projects discovered at this festival will continue to develop and lead to actual process improvements."
