Overview: 

Steel Manufacturing in Algeria Needs a Digital Edge

Algeria’s steel sector—especially in Annaba, a key industrial zone—is central to the country’s infrastructure, construction, and export economy. With increasing domestic demand and regional competition, Algerian steel manufacturers must modernize their operations to remain efficient, compliant, and globally competitive.

This industry deals with:

• High-volume production lines
  
  
• Raw material and furnace cycle management
  
  
• Inventory, supply chain, and delivery logistics
  
  
• Energy consumption tracking
  
  
• Stringent quality and compliance requirements
  
  

That’s where Odoo ERP steps in—offering an end-to-end solution that aligns with the workflows of heavy industry and optimizes every part of the steel manufacturing lifecycle.

To successfully enter or grow within the steel production industry in Algeria, manufacturers must establish:

• A heavy industrial license (via the Ministry of Industry or ANDI)
  
  
• Access to raw materials like iron ore, scrap, and additives
  
  
• Integrated systems for blast furnace control, rolling mill scheduling, and maintenance planning
  
  
• Real-time tracking of kiln temperatures, cycles, and output
  
  
• Compliance with Algerian industrial safety and tax regulations
  
  
• Local and international logistics management
  
  

Legacy systems and spreadsheets are no longer sufficient to manage this complexity. Odoo’s modular, scalable ERP provides the necessary foundation.
