Meet Osas Omoigiade, CEO and Co-Founder of Deep.Meta
Modern steel plants are equipped with vast numbers of sensors. Deep.Meta’s software optimises production by harnessing their data to create digital versions of potential defects. This enables real-time insights to warn operators of casting cracks, or where target-properties won’t be achieved in a rolling schedule. These don’t require expensive hardware upgrades and are different from machine maintenance software, as it detects and characterises specific metallurgical defects. Co-Founder, Osas Omoigiade, reflects on his journey to, through, and beyond Imperial's climate accelerator programme, and how the team have grown their cleantech idea.
