IIM Ranchi, SAIL's R&D to develop data analytics model for iron ore sintering

Officials at RDCIS, along with representatives from steel mills operated by SAIL and faculty members of IIM, will be part of the team that will develop the data analytics model

Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ranchi and the Research and Development Center for Iron along with Steel (RDCIS) of Indian state-run steel producer Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) have signed a memorandum of agreement (MoA) to develop an analytical model for optimization of base mix preparation and sintering operations at steel mills, according to an official statement.

According to the statement, RDCIS and IIM will be collaborating on developing a data analytics model and will implement process optimization of base mix process and iron ore sintering to minimize standard deviations of sintering quality, which ultimately leads to reductions in coke rate usage, cost reduction, and greenhouse gas emission levels. Officials at RDCIS, along with representatives from steel mills operated by SAIL and faculty members of IIM, will be part of the team that will develop the data analytics model, the statement said.

Meanwhile, IIM Ranchi is caught in a suspicious controversy of murder and suicide. A student of IIM Ranchi is found hanging with his hands tied in his hostel room. Police said that the student was depressed. However, the investigation is still going on to find the cause behind the death. Meanwhile, the postmortem report is still awaited.
