steel industry from Leoben, in Styria. It is not a single product but a portfolio of thirteen products and services grouped into three lines: software and hardware, equipment and devices, and consulting and studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe software line is branded \u003cb\u003eqontrol\u003c\/b\u003e. qontrol MAPS manages and optimises raw materials, deriving the real chemical composition and metallic yield of each scrap grade from routine production data using hybrid machine-learning algorithms combined with metallurgical models, with no additional sensors required. Instead of static master data, it learns with every heat, which reduces out-of-specification risk and the conservative safety buffers that drive up cost. qontrol L2 is a modular Level 2 system that controls and optimises the production process using live data, digital twins, adaptive target values and, in the vendor's own words, \u003ci\u003esound metallurgical models and artificial intelligence\u003c\/i\u003e. qontrol MES orchestrates the plant and manages master data as the central link between the ERP and process automation. qontrol LMS tracks ladles, analysing temperature, maintenance intervals and refractory data to extend service life. Alongside these sit \u003cb\u003equrve AI\u003c\/b\u003e, a dust-tight industrial camera that detects objects without invasive marking and returns real-time coordinates for cranes and mobile equipment, and qonsole, a rugged operator terminal with a full HD display and glove-compatible input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole platform is built on a web-based, microservice-oriented framework that sits as a hub between plant automation and enterprise systems. Modules can be bought individually or as one solution, and the vendor states it can run locally or cloud-based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe equipment line is mechanical rather than digital: qouplerG couples gas supply to ladles automatically, qouplerM is a patented multi-media coupler, and qouplerD connects the hydraulic cylinder to the ladle slide gate so steel can be cast without manual intervention or robotics. Bins and silos and general engineering services complete it. The consulting line covers requirements engineering, software architecture, industrial UI\/UX, SCADA and MES migration planning, and metallurgical process work from CO₂ reduction to secondary refining. Everything is sold by contract; the site publishes no prices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3

Rights are described in general terms: free information about which data is held and why, rectification of incorrect data and deletion of data that is incorrect or no longer needed. A privacy contact is named, Sebastian Michelic at the Leoben address with a telephone number, but no email address is given for him. No data protection officer is designated as such, and no Article 27 representative is named, which is consistent with the publisher being established inside the European Union.

On personal data, the company says information collected through the site is given voluntarily and will not be disclosed to third parties without explicit consent. Nothing in the public documents assigns ownership of the process data, melt chemistry records or plant telemetry that the software would handle in production. For an industrial system of this kind, that silence is the notable point: ownership of operational data would have to be settled in the contract, not read off the website.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReuse rights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"justify\" style=\"color:var(--gv3-ink-2);margin:0\"\u003eThe site grants the visitor no reuse rights.

Personal data submitted through the contact form is used solely to answer the request and is not shared without consent. Server logs, which record browser type and version, operating system, referrer, anonymised IP and request time, are kept without personal reference and are not combined with other sources, although the company reserves the right to review them retrospectively if it is notified of concrete evidence of illegal use.

No jurisdiction is declared for the processing of production data, and no subprocessor is listed. The only third party named anywhere is Google Fonts, disclosed because the website may load fonts from a Google server usually located in the United States, which concerns visitors to the site and not customers of the software. As a separate technical observation that should not be confused with data hosting, the marketing website itself resolves to an IP address operated by Hetzner Online GmbH in Falkenstein, Germany; this says nothing about where a deployed qontrol installation would keep plant data.

The company combines metallurgy, mechanical engineering and software development in one house, and it shows: the qontrol MAPS material model that learns real scrap chemistry from routine production data, and the qurve AI camera that identifies ladles and tracks cranes without invasive marking, are working applications of machine learning to a hard industrial problem, not marketing vocabulary bolted onto a conventional product. The published claim of 5 to 50 EUR saved per tonne is unusually concrete for this market, and the legal identity behind it is solid and fully verifiable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reservations are documentary rather than technical. There is no published price, no plan and no trial, so no reader can judge the commercial fit without talking to a salesperson. More significantly for an industrial software vendor, the legal pages cover the marketing website and stop there. The GDPR is never mentioned, no data processing agreement is offered, and nothing is said about where customer production data would be hosted, how long it would be kept, who would subprocess it, or whether it might train the vendor's models. A plant considering qontrol will have to settle all of that in the contract, because the website will not answer it. Smaller details reinforce the impression of a site maintained less carefully than the products: a partly translated German version, and a main call to action that points at a WordPress preview URL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a melt shop with variable scrap quality and an appetite for process optimisation, qoncept is a credible and well-focused candidate.
