Partners

The mill is a team sport

Automation OEMs, MES vendors, systems integrators, inspection suppliers and hardware partners. Steelira sits on top of what you already build and sell — and makes it act.

Four ways to partner

Each has a defined commercial model and a technical onboarding path.

Automation OEMs

Primetals, SMS, Danieli, TMEIC, ABB and their peers. Steelira ships as an autonomy layer on top of your Level-2, extending your installed base without competing with your control products.

MES and quality vendors

Level-3 and QMS providers who need per-coil predicted quality and a defensible decision trail. We push predictions and audit bundles into your system of record.

Systems integrators

Certified partners deliver commissioning, connector mapping and shadow-mode validation. Margin on services, and a repeatable delivery playbook.

Hardware and sensing

Camera, shape-meter, gauge and edge-compute vendors. Certified configurations get listed and recommended in our instrumentation documentation.

How it works

What a partnership looks like in practice

Three concrete shapes, all in production or in pilot.

Automation OEM co-sell

Your Level-2 keeps the control mandate. Steelira adds prediction and optimisation above it and writes back through your interfaces, inside envelopes your commissioning engineers set. You extend the installed base; the customer gets autonomy without a rip-and-replace.

  • CommercialReferral or resale, with margin on the subscription and on your own services.
  • TechnicalPublic write-back contract, joint envelope definition and a certified integration test suite.

MES and quality integration

Predicted gauge, flatness, surface and property outcomes land in your quality module per coil, with the full decision trail attached. Claim investigations that took three days of historian archaeology take minutes.

  • PayloadPer-coil prediction, disposition and signed audit bundle over webhook or REST.
  • ValueYour quality module becomes the place where prediction and measurement meet.

Systems integrator delivery

Certified integrators run connector mapping, edge installation and shadow-mode validation under our playbook, with our deployment engineer on the first two lines. After certification, you deliver independently and we support.

  • CertificationTwo supervised deployments plus a written assessment on envelopes and promotion gates.
  • EconomicsServices margin on delivery, plus referral margin on the subscription.

Onboarding

From first call to first joint deployment

Typically a quarter, most of it technical certification rather than paperwork.

  1. STEP 01

    Fit conversation

    Which customers, which lines, which systems. We are direct about where a partnership does not make sense.

  2. STEP 02

    Technical integration

    Write-back contract, connector mapping and the integration test suite against our sandbox mill.

  3. STEP 03

    Joint pilot

    One customer line delivered together, with both sides' engineers on site through shadow and assist.

  4. STEP 04

    Certification and co-sell

    Listed as a certified partner with an agreed commercial model and joint account planning.

Why partner with us

What is in it for you

The honest version.

Extend your installed base

Every Level-2 you have ever commissioned becomes a candidate for an autonomy layer that makes it more valuable, without threatening your control mandate.

Services demand

Connector mapping, commissioning and validation are real work with real margin, and they recur with every line and every module.

Differentiated bids

A quality module with per-coil predicted properties and a signed decision trail wins arguments that a reporting module does not.

No channel conflict

We publish the rules: named accounts are registered, and we do not go around a partner on a registered opportunity.

Public integration contract

The write-back contract is published. You can evaluate the integration effort before signing anything.

Small and technical

Partnerships here are run by engineers. You will not spend a quarter in alliance-management meetings.

Proof

Joint deployments

“We ran Steelira in shadow for eight weeks on the tandem mill. It called eleven of the twelve off-gauge tail events before our AGC reacted. That was the moment the argument ended.”
Anders KøhlerRolling Manager, NordStrip Steel
“Our best roller retires in two years. Steelira is the first system that captured how he sets up a hard automotive grade — and then explained why, with the coil history to back it.”
Priya RaghunathanQuality & Metallurgy Manager, Aurum Flat Rolled
“Prime yield moved 1.7 points on the galvanizing line and reheat gas fell double digits. Nothing else we bought this decade did both.”
Marco FeltrinPlant Director, Ferrata Group

Let's talk about a joint line

The fastest way to evaluate a partnership is one customer line delivered together. Tell us which account and we will bring an engineer.
