Deploying AI Solutions in Foundation Industries

Virtual - Zoom

TransFIRe Seminar Deploying AI Solutions in Foundation Industries: Lessons Learned from ‘Furnace AI’ Dr Peter Green, University of Liverpool Tuesday 20 December 9am - 9.45am (30 minutes talk and 15 minutes questions) Zoom (details below description) All are invited to an online TransFIRe seminar on Zoom, aligned with the Glass Technical Working Group. This presentation focuses on the outputs of a recent deployment of an AI-based monitoring system for float glass manufacturing with NSG Pilkington: Furnace AI. We discuss the challenges associated with transitioning AI solutions from academia to industry, with a focus on both technical aspects (e.g. scalability to large datasets, the removal of data that is towards the end of its lifecycle) alongside the ‘softer’ challenges that must also be addressed during deployment (e.g. risk ownership and user trust). Finally, based on the outcomes of the Furnace AI project, potential avenues of future research are suggested.   [...]

Net-Zero, Industrial Decarbonisation, and the ‘Non-Technical’ Dimensions of Transformative Change

University of Edinburgh Chrystal Macmillan Building, Room 2.15

SKAPE is delighted to host Kyle Parker and Steve Yearley (University of Edinburgh). Kyle and Steve will be presenting on “Net-Zero, Industrial Decarbonisation, and the ‘Non-Technical’ Dimensions of Transformative Change”. Abstract: This talk reports on research being conducted within STIS as part of the UK’s TransFIRe Hub – a large investment by UKRI/EPSRC involving over 20 investigators from 12 UK institutions, in addition to Project Partners from more than 70 organisations (including companies, NGOs and government organisations.  TransFIRe is about the meeting point of two huge challenges and transformations confronting UK industry: namely, the impacts of Brexit on international competitiveness, and the drive towards decarbonisation and the UK’s 2050 ‘Net-Zero’ target.  This is of particular importance to the so-called Foundation Industries (FI) – the energy-intensive industries that produce the material from which other products are made (for example, metals, glass and ceramics). Ordinary people are seldom customers for foundation-industry products, but they (we) buy the things made [...]

Challenges in Sustainability Reporting Webinar

Virtual - Microsoft Teams

Following in depth research with local businesses TransFIRe in partnership with North Lincolnshire Council invite you to attend a series of curated events focusing on sustainability. In response to the increasing pressure to report on your sustainability credentials, how can sustainability metrics help evidence the positive benefits of your activities? TransFIRe is seeking to help high energy using companies to understand and use the emerging reporting requirements to benefit both their competitiveness as well as their sustainability reporting and performance. We particularly welcome SMEs to these events in addition to larger companies. This first event brings you a webinar to brief you on the emerging reporting requirements, provide examples of how metrics have been used in other businesses to best effect and interactively share local good practice. You will also get insight to the latest thinking of how working with wider stakeholders boosts long term performance. Following this event [...]

Blue Skies, Greener Future: A Global Renaissance of Metallurgy

Virtual - Zoom

Blue Skies, Greener Future: A Global Renaissance of Metallurgy: The Birth of Metallurgy 2.0 Speaker: Professor Zhongyun Fan Metals are the backbone of global manufacturing and the fuel for economic growth. However, extraction and processing of metals are highly energy intensive and cause severe environmental damage: metal extraction accounts for 12% of global primary energy demand and 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The global grand challenge is to decouple economic growth from environmental damage. The worldwide sustainability crisis has led to a complete rethink of how we source, formulate and deploy metallic materials in the future, triggering a global renaissance of metallurgy and giving birth to Metallurgy 2.0. In this context, we have developed a vision for full metal circulation (FMC), under which the global demand for metallic materials will be met by a full circulation of secondary metals without the need for either mining or metal extraction.
