Tutorials and Learning Resources
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

AI for manufacturing has huge potential. As well as clear AI use cases like robotics and automation, the wealth of data being consolidated into industrial time series via historian appliances presents an opportunity for further AI applications. Using the data being consolidated, we can build early warning systems for critical issues, optimise maintenance programs, and improve processes.
