Smart Steel ERP: AI-enabled ERP for steel plants and mines
One system from mine and weighbridge to furnace, rolling mill and dispatch, with AI that forecasts, predicts failures and flags losses before they cost you.
Where steel and mining businesses lose money
The losses are rarely in one place. They sit in the gaps between departments.
- Weighbridge and stock figures never matchWeighments flow straight into stock and accounts, with no re-entry.
- Breakdowns stop production without warningAI flags equipment at risk from maintenance and sensor history.
- Yield and quality losses found too lateShift-wise yield and lab deviations alert managers the same day.
- Royalty and statutory reports take daysCompliance reports generate from operational data.

Smart Steel ERP questions
What is Smart Steel ERP?
Smart Steel ERP is an AI-enabled ERP from 3SD Solutions for integrated steel plants, iron ore mines, crushers and captive power units. It connects raw materials, production, quality, maintenance, weighbridge, dispatch, royalty, finance and HR in one system.
Which operations does it cover?
Mining and crushing, raw material receipt and weighbridge, sinter, pellet, DRI and steel making, rolling, quality and lab, maintenance, captive power, stores and procurement, sales and dispatch, royalty and statutory compliance, finance, HR and payroll.
What does the AI do?
The AI layer forecasts demand and raw material needs, predicts equipment failures from maintenance and sensor history, highlights yield and quality deviations, and answers management questions about operations in plain language.
Can it connect to plant equipment and weighbridges?
Yes. Smart Steel ERP is designed to integrate with weighbridges, PLC and SCADA systems and plant sensors through standard industrial protocols, so data flows in without manual entry.
Can it run on our own servers?
Yes. It can be deployed on your own servers or in the cloud, depending on your IT and security policy.
Is it suitable for smaller crushers and mines?
Yes. Modules can be implemented independently, so a crusher or a single mine can start with weighbridge, production, dispatch and royalty, and add modules as it grows.
