Borusan Boru, a Borusan Group company, has once again validated its leadership in Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) by blending industrial experience with cutting-edge technology. At the 10th edition of the MESS Stars of Occupational Safety Awards, organized by the Turkish Metal Industrialists’ Union (MESS), the company was honored with the 10th Anniversary Special Award. The prestigious accolade was presented by the Minister of Labour and Social Security, Prof. Dr. Vedat Işıkhan.
SparkAI: Predicting Accidents Before They Occur
Borusan Boru took the stage not only for its historical performance but also for its future-oriented innovations. The company won an additional award for SparkAI (Safety ProActive Risk Knowledge AI), an artificial intelligence-backed accident prediction system developed internally by Borusan Boru employees. This system shifts OHS management from a reactive model to a proactive, predictive structure.
Key operational benefits of the SparkAI system include:
Big Data Analysis: Simultaneously analyzes numerous variables such as shift density, production volume, maintenance deviations, and near-miss history.
Early Warning: Identifies risk surges in advance, allowing for safer personnel assignments in critical tasks.
Decision Support: Supports management processes with predictive data to serve the ultimate goal of "Zero Accidents."
"I3" Strategy: Focused on Human and Innovation
Developed in full alignment with Borusan Holding’s sustainability strategy—Human, Innovation, and Climate (I3)—SparkAI offers a unique solution based on machine learning. Beyond enhancing safety, the project optimizes operational efficiency and resource utilization. Due to its scalable architecture, the system is designed to be adapted across all Borusan Group factories and facilities.
Sustainable Transformation Towards "Zero Accidents"
By continuously updating its OHS policies through technology-supported applications, Borusan Boru continues to provide an exemplary model for the industry. The company treats employee safety not merely as an operational requirement but as the core foundation of its corporate culture.
