Practical tutorials and how-to guides for manufacturers who want to understand and use AI tools — without wading through academic papers or sitting through hour-long webinars.
These resources cover the things that actually trip people up: how to read a mill certificate, how to set up a cutting optimisation plan, how to build a business case for digitalisation without a finance degree, and how to get your team using new software without a six-week training programme.
Topics covered in this section include:
- Understanding mill certificates and EN 10204 certificate types
- How cutting optimisation software generates cut lists
- Setting up yield tracking and scrap reporting
- Building a business case for digital tools in a metals SME
- Getting started with GoSmarter’s platform
