Deputy Manager IT Industry 4 0 Driving Digital-first Transformation in Steel
Apr 2025 — Present
Driving the organization’s digital-first transformation journey by placing data, intelligence, and automation at the core of steel manufacturing.The focus is on building a connected, data-driven ecosystem across plants and operations. Siloed, manual processes are being replaced with an integrated platform where data from OT systems (PLCs, SCADA, sensors), enterprise systems (SAP), and manual sources converge into a centralized data lake. This foundational architecture enables real-time visibility and supports advanced AI/ML pipelines that optimize production, quality, energy usage, and maintenance strategies.The approach goes beyond basic digitization to achieve true digital transformation—where insights drive decisions, algorithms guide operations, and systems self-optimize. Smart manufacturing is enabled through MES, intelligent yard and ladle tracking, predictive maintenance, and autonomous logistics—embedding intelligence throughout the value chain.Safety and sustainability are being redefined through drone-based mining operations, robotic inspections of critical infrastructure, and 24x7 workforce monitoring systems powered by computer vision, IoT, and real-time analytics.Innovation culture is actively fostered through internal AI/ML hackathons and cross-functional collaboration, continuously demonstrating the tangible value digital technologies can bring to steel manufacturing.The ultimate mission: to transform traditional steelmaking into a responsive, intelligent, and sustainable digital enterprise.
