The Challenge
Inbound scrap varies by grade, composition, supplier, and load. At high volume, visual inspection and manual records make it difficult to characterize material consistently or reconcile what was purchased with what entered inventory.
That uncertainty affects procurement deductions, inventory accuracy, safety, and the margin realized on every ton.
The Solution
Solstice continuously characterizes inbound metal composition and connects those measurements to procurement records at scale.
The same deployment monitors for hazardous items and creates real-time evidence for deduction decisions, replacing subjective review with a consistent operating record.
The Results
Continuous hazard monitoring improves safety detection before material reaches critical equipment. Real-time deduction automation gives procurement teams faster, more defensible decisions.
Mass-based composition characterization keeps inventory reconciliation within 2–4% error by mass, improving P&L efficiency and confidence in material value.
