The Steel Manufacturing Simulation and Visualization Consortium (SMSVC), an initiative spearheaded by Purdue University Northwest’s (PNW) Center for Innovation through Visualization and Simulation (CIVS), is celebrating a decade of transformational innovation that advances efficiencies for partnering steel manufacturing and energy production companies.

This industrial application-driven consortium’s mission centers on using state-of-the-art simulation, visualization, and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to address challenges and growth for advanced manufacturing and ensure competitive advantages for the steel industry.

The consortium currently includes 16 member companies from across the nation, representing steel producers and suppliers.

“Over the past decade, CIVS and SMSVC together have built a powerful model for collaboration between academia and industry. This milestone reflects the dedication of our member companies, faculty, staff and students in developing and implementing cutting-edge technologies,” said Chenn Zhou, NIPSCO Distinguished Professor of Engineering Simulation and director of CIVS. “SMSVC’s first decade demonstrates what is possible when industry and academia work side by side to deliver impactful, real-world solutions. We are proud of the impact we have made and even more excited about what lies ahead. Our collaborative model will continue to drive innovation and workforce development that transforms our industry and region for future economic needs and outcomes.”
