ArcelorMittal

Largest Steel Producer in the World (Formerly Mittal Steel)
 93.6 million tons of Crude Steel (in 2012)
 38% of America’s Steel
 46% of Europe’s Steel
 16% of Other regions Steel

Focus Points
 Recycling
• Most of their product comes from metal that was purchased as
scrap and melted down
 Safety
• On and off the job (i.e. texting and driving)
• End every meeting addressing some sort of safety concern
Executive Summary
 Problem: The current problem ArcelorMittal has been
faced with is the lack of security at the front gate. They
currently experience large traffic jams, on the main road,
during peak hours of operation.
 Solution: Develop a gate security system that provides
not only security, but safety for their employees, visitors,
contractors and truck drivers. This system will be efficient
and provide a way for the safety engineers to verify who
is on site if a dangerous situation occurs.
Current Traffic Flow Rates
 Semi Trucks
 Steel Purchasers: 45 trucks (6am - 1pm)
 Scrap Drop Offs: 70 trucks (7am - 2:30pm)
 Raw Material & Parts Service: 45 trucks (6am - 2pm)
 Employees
 58 Full Time Salaried Employees (7am - 4pm)
 292 Steel Mill Workers (12am-12am)
*Average amount of gate traffic per day.
Customer Needs
 New gate design to replace current aging design
 Current design is unsafe and unreliable
 Camera to take pictures of employees when entering
 Know what the employee looks like in case of emergency
 QR Code system for contractors, visitors, truckers
 Currently takes 5-10 minutes when these outside employees visit
 QR codes can drop this time tremendously
.
Current System



Very outdated
Truck drivers have to exit
trucks to obtain tickets to pick
up shipment
Only two guards on duty



One that directs traffic and one
that checks in drivers
This can get very hectic, very
quick
No database of employees,
visitors, contractors or
truckers on site in case of
emergency
Proposed Design Solution
Design Ranking

Arduino Yun Microcontroller
 Efficient
 Easier to create scripts and
small apps
 Communicates with Web
Services through existing
APIs

Raspberry Pi Microcontroller
 Faster Arm Processor and
GPU
 In-home entertainment
 Cheaper
