Mill Test Processing From Administrative Overhead to Intelligent Automation

In collaboration with the Transal network, Alliance Métal Québec, and Openmind Technologies.

In the steel industry, material certificates (Mill Test Reports) play a central role in quality assurance, traceability, and regulatory compliance. Yet their processing still relies heavily on manual work—time-consuming, repetitive, and prone to errors. This critical process quickly becomes a major operational burden as volumes grow and requirements become stricter.

In collaboration with the Transal network, Alliance Métal Québec, and Openmind Technologies, this webinar tackles this real, on-the-ground challenge and shows how digital automation—supported by a prototype integrating AI—can structure, streamline, and accelerate MTR processing without replacing your existing systems.

By the end of this webinar, you will understand how this type of automation can fit into your operations, what tangible benefits to expect, how far it’s realistic to go today with AI applied to Mill Tests, and how a collaborative industry approach can accelerate access to this type of solution.

During this webinar, we will take a practical look at a critical challenge in the steel industry and the digital levers available to address it effectively.

• The key role of Mill Test Reports in quality assurance, traceability, and compliance
• The limitations and risks of manual MTR processing
• What digital automation and AI can realistically deliver today
• Walkthrough of a working MTR automation prototype
• Measurable operational benefits: time savings, improved reliability, fewer errors
• An outlook on a collaborative, industry-wide approach and the potential path toward a standard
