MatruOS for a ferro-alloy plant
Set up the way a ferro-alloy plant runs: silico-manganese, ferro-manganese or ferro-silicon sold by tonne on grade and size to steel plants, induction furnaces, foundries and exporters; slag and fines sold as by-products. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves
What a ferro-alloy plant deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Power per tonne creeps up unseen and wipes out the margin. Ore blend is chosen by habit so Mn recovery and slag losses vary.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 10 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 11 licences for a ferro-alloy plant, with an AI team that reads your own records and prepares the work.
What changes
The right person is reminded at the right time, approvals wait for whoever decides, and every licence has a renewal reminder. Anything that sends, pays, signs, files or deletes waits for a person's approval.
