The AI platform helps metal manufacturers, fabricators and distributors verify every incoming supplier certificate and generate audit-ready outgoing MTC/CoC.
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, November 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — TestCert Launches AI Co-Pilot to Validate Mill Test Certificates and Close Traceability Gaps for Metal Manufacturers and Distributors
Cloud platform reads supplier MTCs, checks chemistry and mechanical values against ASTM, ASME, EN, API and BIS standards, and issues traceable certificates of conformance in minutes.
TestCert today announced its AI co-pilot for material test certificate (MTC) management, available at testcert.co. The cloud platform helps metal manufacturers, fabricators and distributors verify every incoming supplier certificate and generate audit-ready outgoing documents, replacing manual review and spreadsheet tracking.
The problem: certificates trusted, not verified
Every batch of steel, stainless or alloy arrives with an MTC listing its heat number, chemical analysis and mechanical test results. In many plants these PDFs are filed without anyone checking the values against the ordered specification. Outgoing certificates are often typed from pre-filled templates, breaking the link between the material shipped and the mill data behind it.
TestCert’s own research among Indian metal companies found that roughly 90% have no structured MTC process. The result is out-of-spec material reaching the shop floor, slow document retrieval when customers ask, and stressful audits.
How TestCert works –
TestCert covers the full path from material receipt to customer delivery in three steps:
1. Ingest supplier MTCs. AI trained on metallurgical documents reads unstructured PDFs and low-quality scans, capturing heat chemistry and mechanical results. The company reports 99.9% extraction accuracy.
2. Validate against standards. Each value is checked against a library of more than 10,000 grades across ASTM, ASME, EN 10204, API and IS/BIS standards, or against the customer’s own material master. Out-of-spec carbon, manganese, yield or tensile values are flagged with a match score, and QC engineers can review or override.
3. Generate, approve and deliver. Branded certificates of conformance and outgoing MTCs are produced from templates on company letterhead, with the source heat’s MTC attached, QR-code verification and single or multi-level approval.
For manufacturers and fabricators, TestCert maps heats to bills of material and finished parts, reads in-house spectrometer and lab-report PDFs, and builds project documentation packs in seconds. For distributors and service centers, it turns incoming MTCs into grade-wise inventory, lets sales teams search stock by specification, and sends compliant paperwork before the truck leaves the yard.
TestCert says customers can cut MTC processing time by up to 90%. The platform is fully cloud-based and available in 12 languages.
“A mill test certificate is a promise about the metal, but most companies never check that promise. Quality teams are buried in PDFs and spreadsheets, so incoming certificates get filed unread and outgoing ones get filled from templates. TestCert gives every QC engineer an AI co-pilot that reads the certificate, checks it against the standard and keeps the heat-to-part trail intact. Traceability should be the default, not a scramble before an audit.
