We engineer
steel operations
into peak form.

Cardamom Tech is an operating-floor consultancy for steel and heavy industrial producers. We work inside your plants — furnaces, rolling lines, converters — to close the gap between installed capacity and delivered performance.

Fig. 01 — What We Do

Six disciplines. One floor.

Each engagement is built from the same core disciplines, sequenced to the plant's real constraints — not a generic playbook.

01

Operational Excellence

Debottlenecking, line balancing and lean shop-floor systems that lift throughput without new capex.

02

Cost Competitiveness

03

Quality & Yield

Root-cause elimination of defects and rejections, tightening process windows batch to batch.

04

Asset Reliability

Maintenance strategy redesign that converts breakdown hours into planned, predictable uptime.

05

Energy & Sustainability

Specific energy consumption reduction and emissions-intensity pathways aligned to plant economics.

Fig. 02 — How We Work

A fixed sequence, on your floor.

Four stages, in order — because a fix installed before the diagnosis is finished doesn't hold.

Stage 01

Diagnose

Shop-floor time-and-motion, process-data audit and loss-tree mapping to find where value actually leaks.

Stage 02

Design

A prioritised, costed intervention plan — sequenced by payback and built with your plant teams, not around them.

Stage 03

Deploy

Joint implementation on the floor: shift-level coaching, standard work, and control-room changes that stick.

Stage 04

Sustain

KPI governance and capability transfer so gains hold long after our last shift on site.
