Steel & Metals: Your European Buyers are Already Demanding Melt Traceability. We Extract It from Your ERP.
Under the ESPR framework, steel and aluminium are being integrated into the European Digital Product Passport system. Northern European buyers are already passing these requirements down to Italian suppliers: the data exists in your systems, but not in the format Europe requires.
Technical audit of heat numbers, 3.1 certs, and bills of materials against European standards.
The data exists. The format does not. And contracts depend on it.
In mills and fabrication plants, mill test certificates, chemical analyses, and carbon data already exist, but they sit inside PDFs, emails, and quality archives. The digital passport mandates that these become machine-readable and linked to every physical shipment.
Procurement clauses that disqualify untracked suppliers
Industrial buyers in Germany and the Nordics already embed material traceability and carbon footprint criteria into supply agreements. You risk losing bids not to European fines, but to competitors with machine-readable data.
3.1 certificates, heat numbers, and analyses scattered across systems
Every delivery requires manual cross-referencing between delivery notes, melt lots, and supplier certificates. Administrative overhead compounds with every shipment.
Closed factory ERPs that cannot communicate with the outside
Internal production and warehouse systems do not expose modern APIs. Requesting adaptations from legacy software vendors means months of delay and disproportionate costs.
Risk of exposing your supply chain to competitors
Many generic platforms ask suppliers to upload tier-1 relationships to shared cloud hubs. EU regulations require a decentralized model: your data must remain on your infrastructure.
Metallurgical Traceability Connector
Heat by heat. Batch by batch. Compliant with Europe.
We engineer dedicated software that reads your factory archive in read-only mode, links every shipment to its origin melt and supplier certificate, and formats the record according to European semantic models.
Extraction of heats, lots, and quality certificates
The connector reads data in read-only mode from your ERP and quality archives, reconstructing the chain between delivery note, melt lot, and mill test report.
Standardization into the European semantic model
We transform chemical analyses, dimensions, and process data into the common format so that any European buyer can ingest them without manual data entry.
Batch QR code and indexing in the EU Registry
Every shipped batch receives a unique 2D code: customers scan it to access authenticated material properties, while the central EU registry indexes the identifier.
Why mills and metal fabricators choose Adelant
Your supplier lists and commercial margins remain confidential
The architecture is decentralized: technical data stays on your servers. Brussels receives only the index and legally mandated public information. Competitors cannot reconstruct your supply chain.
Zero changes to your factory management software
The connector runs alongside your existing systems, reading data where it already lives. Your staff keep their normal routines and production never stops.
Fixed-price scope and documented technical perimeter
We agree in writing on the product families and data fields to certify, backed by a binding scope and clear milestones. No hourly open-ended consulting bills.
How European Traceability is Built
A proven field implementation, not a vague promise of compliance
Audit of available data
We verify where heat numbers, certificates, and analyses live and how they currently link to shipping documents.
Connector engineering and field trial
We connect data flows, print test QR codes on a live shipment, and verify that the technical sheet renders properly for the recipient.
Production rollout and regulatory updates
The system runs alongside ordinary shipping routines and receives continuous software maintenance as European standards evolve.
One-time fixed engineering fee for factory integration, coupled with an annual compliance and maintenance license.
Frequently Asked Questions on Steel and Metals
Is the digital passport already mandatory for steel?
The European framework schedules metals and construction products in the waves following batteries. However, major buyers are already adding traceability requirements to purchase orders today: market pressure arrives well before regulatory deadlines.
Do we need to replace our current production software?
No. The connector runs in read-only mode alongside existing databases. No ERP replacements, no downtime, and no risky data migrations.
Will our clients see where we source raw steel?
Public disclosures cover technical composition and sustainability properties. Commercial agreements and tier-2 supplier identities remain strictly confidential under EU access controls.
How long does deployment take?
From initial data mapping to validated field runs on real shipments, implementation typically takes between three to five weeks.
Before losing a supply contract, verify what your ERP can already produce.
Melt and certification data almost always exist internally. The challenge is converting them into machine-readable European formats. Let us audit your real gap.
