  MSA - Metals Industry

MSA's Metals and Advanced Manufacturing Division specializes in developing process control and automation systems, decision support, business intelligence and supply-chain management systems for manufacturers. We solve client challenges in the areas of process monitoring and display, operator guidance, data acquisition and process optimization.

We apply MSA's innovative use of data management, analytics and technology and MSA's years of experience in business solutions to the metals and general manufacturing industries. Formerly known as MSA PASS, this division has a long history of innovative software development for the charging, melting, refining, and casting operations in the steel industry.

Current solutions include a Raw Material Data Aggregation Service (RMDAS) that integrates scrap purchase information of many steel companies to provide its participants with a powerful, accurate benchmarking, reporting, and internal control tool on this important raw material cost.

MSA Wins DOC Contract

The United States Department of Commerce (DOC) has awarded to MSA a contract to study and model the future demand of steel.

The study comes in response to concerns raised by US steel producers and steel service centers that the shrinking domestic manufacturing sector, coupled with import pressures of steel and steel-containing goods, could erode the demand for domestic steel.

The contract reflects MSA's extensive experience and background in market analysis and sophisticated model development, coupled with its strong domain knowledge of steel-producing and steel-consuming industries.
