Production Manger who leads a busy production line at Midland Steel, a rebar manufacturer who
have operations in Ireland, UK, and Norway. Their product range include Cut & Bend rebar, Mesh, Couplers, Accessories, Standard Prefabricated Rebar and their patented Modular Offsite reinforcement solution called FasterFix.
Like many in the industry, his team was spending countless hours manually extracting and renaming mill certificate documents—often entering long product codes line by line. It’s time-consuming, repetitive, and prone to human error.
That changed when they started using MillCert Reader on GoSmarter.ai.
“I logged in for the first time and was up and running in minutes. MillCert Reader now pulls all the key info—chemical composition, mechanical properties—automatically. What used to take hours every week is done in seconds.
Since adopting the tool, he has saved 10 hours a month, freeing them up to focus on more valuable production tasks. The instant document renaming feature has been particularly helpful in reducing errors and speeding up workflows.
Looking ahead, this Production Manager is excited about how MillCert Reader and other GoSmarter.ai tools that could help track materials more effectively and support the company’s sustainability goals.
“It’s not just about speed—it’s helping us work smarter”
