ALCHIMIA - Data and decentralized Artificial intelligence for a competitive and green European metallurgy industry

Initial situation:

The Green Deal will make Europe the first climate-neutral continent in the world. To do that, European industries must contribute to a greener and more sustainable Europe, which is specifically recognized in a new policy for a climate-neutral and circular industry. Among the energy-intensive industries, the metallurgical industry poses a major challenge due to the tradeoff between maintaining economic profitability and progressively implementing the required transformations for greener production.

Project targets:

The mission of the ALCHIMIA project is to provide sustainable and competitive metal and steel making industries in the EU with a platform to support the transition to high-quality, competitive, efficient, and green production processes with the guarantee of high-quality products in the metal and steel-making industry.

Innovative approaches:

ALCHIMIA applies physical, dynamic and statistical models together with the latest AI tools, including Continual Learning and Federated Learning, to optimize the operation of the whole production plant.

Benefits for the industry:

ALCHIMIA will find an optimal process operation to reduce energy consumption, emissions, and waste generation in the metal and steelmaking processes while also guaranteeing the production of high-quality products.
