GoSmarter.ai Launches Rebar Optimiser to Cut Steel Waste and Carbon Emissions

Cardiff, UK – July 2025 – GoSmarter.ai is excited to announce the launch of the Rebar Optimiser, a powerful new tool designed to help steel manufacturers and construction professionals reduce material waste and lower carbon emissions during the rebar cutting process.

Rebar, which is used to reinforce concrete, is typically supplied in standard long lengths and then cut into shorter sizes based on project requirements. This often results in leftover pieces—some large enough to reuse (offcuts), and others too small to be useful (scrap). These scraps are discarded, wasting valuable material and contributing to environmental impact.

How It Works

The Rebar Optimiser uses advanced Genetic Algorithms (GAs)—a form of artificial intelligence inspired by natural selection—to solve the complex problem of rebar cutting optimisation. The tool analyses thousands of possible cutting combinations across entire order sets to find the most efficient sequences. It then recommends cutting patterns that maximise the use of each bar, reduce waste, and consider the carbon footprint of the remaining material.

Why It Matters

• Less Waste: Cuts down on offcuts and scrap by optimising every cut.
• Lower Costs: Improves material efficiency and reduces steel usage.
• Greener Production: Minimises carbon emissions from scrap and handling.
• Smarter Planning: Automatically generates cost-effective cutting plans.

“Rebar waste is a common and costly challenge across the industry. By using genetic algorithms, our Rebar Optimiser makes it simple to plan smarter cuts, reduce scrap, and make production more sustainable,” said the GoSmarter.ai team.

The Rebar Optimiser is now available at GoSmarter.aiand is part of a growing suite of AI-powered tools that help rebar manufacturers work more efficiently and sustainably.
