Business Wales Just Called Us a Steel Manufacturing Success Story. They're Not Wrong.
Business Wales has published a success story about Nightingale HQ and specifically, how our GoSmarter.ai platform is helping steel manufacturers move away from manual processes that belong in a 1995 IT classroom and into AI tools that actually work on the shop floor.
The article, “Nightingale HQ: Powering Smarter Steel Manufacturing with Innovation Support”, spotlights the impact GoSmarter.ai is having in the sector, from automating data extraction to optimising rebar cutting plans and, fair play to them, gives credit to the Welsh government support that helped us get there faster.
What They Highlighted
Business Wales picked up on a few things that matter to us:
- Cutting waste without cutting corners. GoSmarter.ai helps manufacturers find savings in the steel cutting process meaning less scrap, lower costs, fewer tonnes of CO₂ going up in smoke.
- AI that doesn’t require a PhD to use. The whole point of our platform is that production teams can use it without calling in a consultant or rewiring their existing systems.
- Welsh tech on the global stage. A Caerphilly-based scale-up going head-to-head with international competitors and winning on results.
Why This Matters
It’s one thing to say your tech works. It’s another when Business Wales, who’ve seen every flavour of Welsh innovation pitch imaginable publish a success story backing you up.
For steel manufacturers still running on gut instinct and outdated software, this is a nudge: the tools exist, they’re working, and there’s no excuse not to use them.
