For over two years, a steel manufacturing company had been planning its digital transformation. Multiple vendors were evaluated, steering committees formed, and internal discussions held, but no execution occurred. Meanwhile, business targets around uptime, cost efficiency, and compliance kept moving. The company turned to Dovient Copilot not for another roadmap but for real results. Within 30 days, they had launched a live, usable solution that brought visibility, structure, and measurable gains in technician efficiency and asset uptime.

Background

Operating a mix of blast furnaces, steel converters, and rolling lines, the plant faced constant pressure to deliver with a limited budget and an ageing asset base. Leadership recognized that digital transformation was necessary but was overwhelmed by complexity and change management fears. Stakeholders were caught between long-term strategic plans and urgent production goals. Every new initiative felt like a disruption. The result: delay, confusion, and stagnation.
