Business Challenges and Pain Points

Hard to Meet Demand: Manual Grading Fails on Diverse Scrap

Rising global steel demand highlights scrap steel’s value as a renewable resource. It reduces reliance on non-renewable iron ore while lowering steelmaking energy use and carbon emissions.

However, expanded scrap recycling introduces diverse sources (industrial waste, construction debris, discarded vehicles, etc.). This creates significant variations in scrap quality, composition, and shape, complicating grading. Traditional manual grading struggles to meet large-scale needs for efficiency and accuracy.

Key Steel Scrap Management Pain Points Pre-AI

  • Fragmented logistics/raw material systems

  • Operator-dependent decisions (destination, classification, dilution)

  • Non-standardized Excel reporting

  • Photos only for problematic loads

  • Mobile phone photography

  • Unstructured photo storage

The Overview of AI Steel Scrap Grading System

When a truck loaded with scrap metal enters the unloading area, the AI vision cameras can automatically and accurately check and grade thousands of pieces of scrap metal. Even if the pieces are small or mixed with impurities, the AI accurately identifies them.

Process of AI Steel Scrap Grading System

Yonyou AI teams has established an image library of over 14 million global scrap pictures and a database of more than 600 million labeled individual scrap pieces.

Steel Scrap Identified

How Is Each Piece of Steel Scrap Identified?

At the core of the system, the AI-driven algorithms can analyze multiple characteristics, including the scrap grade and type, physical dimensions, dust, rust, oil level and hazardous items.

Various Scraps Categories Can be Identified by AI

By comparing these features against an extensive database of predefined grading standards, the system can precisely assign each piece of scrap steel to its appropriate grade within seconds.
