Join us in Hall 3 at Booth #A22!

Meet our experts…Representatives from our iron and steel and digital businesses will be available throughout the conference to talk about the latest innovations and technologies available to help you take your business to the next level. Explore how Hatch’s digital twin capabilities can help maximize your blast furnace’s overall performance and optimize production cost.

Learn about Blast Furnace 4.0 through an interactive demo at 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. CEST. Our team will be on hand to showcase how digitalization can improve operating efficiency and optimize your production. Learn how to manage your blast furnace assets effectively with real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance programs.

Enter for a chance to win a copy of the soon-to-be-released book Blast Furnace Ironmaking: Analysis, Control, and Optimization by Hatch authors Ian Cameron, Mitren Sukhram and Kyle Lefebvre, with Professor William Davenport from the University of Arizona. The book uses a fundamental first principles approach to prepare a blast furnace mass and energy balance in Excel™ with robust descriptions and best practices. View one of our demos and enter for a chance to win!
