Automatically read mill certs and stop typing data

Nobody likes chasing suppliers for certificates. Nobody likes downloading five different PDFs from five different portals. And nobody likes typing heat numbers into a spreadsheet.

But someone has to do it — or orders get delayed, audits fail, and customers complain.

The average metals business spends hours every week on certificate data entry alone. It is error-prone, mind-numbing work that adds zero value to the material being shipped. Mistakes introduce risk: a wrong heat number in a record means a traceability failure when someone checks it later.

Our AI reads the certificate, pulls the data, and links it to your inventory. Done.

Upload a paper scan or a digital PDF. The AI extracts every heat number, grade, chemical composition, and mechanical property — in seconds. That data flows straight into your stock records, so you always know exactly which certificate belongs to which material.

We work with every customer and have tuned our AI against certificates from many of the world’s largest steel mills. Unusual formats, faded scans, mixed-language documents — it handles them all.

It’s as simple as: log in, upload any mill certificate, and get your extracted data and renamed PDFs immediately. No model training, no configuration, no waiting.

From a typical EN 10204 Type 3.1 certificate, the system reads:

• Heat number and cast number
• Material grade and specification (e.g., S355JR, EN 10025)
• Chemical composition (C, Mn, Si, P, S, and more)
• Mechanical properties (yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, impact)
• Test result pass/fail status
• Mill name, order reference, and certificate date

That data goes directly into your inventory record — no transcription, no manual checking.

One production manager saved more than 120 hours in a year — just from getting bulk mill certificates converted into single-page, heat-code-named PDFs.

Before: hunt through “cert1.pdf”, “cert2.pdf”, “cert (1) copy.pdf” to find what you need. After: every PDF is named by heat number. Send exactly the right cert with every order, every time.

Got a pile of PDFs? Still typing heat numbers by hand? You’re ready to switch today. No IT project. No migration consultant.

Step 1 — Sign up and log in. Browser-based, nothing to install. Your 14-day free trial starts immediately — no credit card required.

Step 2 — Upload your first batch of certificates. Drag and drop a folder of PDFs — scanned paper certs, digital certs from mills, anything you’ve got. The AI extracts your data and renames your PDFs within seconds.

Step 3 — Build your archive (optional). Upload your historical certificates to build a fully searchable archive. Search by heat number, grade, mill, or date — without opening a single PDF.

Step 4 — Connect to Metals Manager (optional). If you use Metals Manager, certificate data links to stock items automatically as material is received. No manual entry.

Step 5 — Feed cert data into your ERP or QMS (optional). Export via CSV or use the REST API to push heat number data straight into your ERP or quality management system. Need to send certs to customers automatically? That works too. See the integration strategy — from standalone use to full ERP sync.
