Storage and handling of products
Management of internal and external transport
In the steel industry, logistics is a major source of optimisation for coils, slabs, beams, packaged products, etc
Inside the halls, product traceability and staff safety are the main issues. The same goes for feeding the lines with the right product just in time.
To optimise transport operations and the supply of production lines, the challenge is to avoid unnecessary movements of handling equipment: cranes, transfer cars, conveyors, roller tables, etc
The optimisation of transport at a steel site concerns the reception, the shipments and the internal movements of the site.
For trucks, the challenge is to eliminate or limit the need for personnel to access the site, direct them to the parking lots and loading and unloading docks, while reducing waiting times.
Supply Chain priorities guide the optimisation of loading plans for internal movements: pallets, trains or trucks, as well as recurring shipments.
Fluxx
Fully configurable
Fluxx in a yard
profitability in a few months
Elimination of shipping errors
Fluxx guarantees full traceability throughout the supply chain.
Reduction of scrap
Fluxx reduces the number of handling operations and thus the risk of damage.
Increased safety
Fluxx eliminates the need for ground search and therefore reduces staff travel. Fluxx always suggests secure locations based on the physical characteristics of the products.
Larger storage capacity
The reduction in the amount of floor space required for personnel between rows allows for an increase in yard capacity.
No more unnecessary remanufacturing
Fluxx eliminates the need for product search and therefore unnecessary remanufacturing.
Hot loading
In the case of slabs, Fluxx maximises the possibility of hot loading.
Fluxx very quickly profitable
on an entire site!
Reduction of logistic costs
Fluxx always chooses the optimal means of transport.
Reduction in working capital requirements (WCR)
Faster product transfer reduces the need for safety stock.
Fewer line stoppages
Fluxx reduces production lines downtime caused by unavailable programmed products or congested line exits.
Customers delivered faster
Fluxx optimises the logistics chain to meet delivery deadlines.
Supply chain integration
As Fluxx already knows the products when they arrive at the docks, reception is faster, requires less handling and does not lead to errors.
Added value, from the simple project to the most optimised site
No ground staff, permanent inventory, no more mistakes!
More capacity, less handling, less staff!
Reduction of logistics personnel and reduction of truck waiting times.
Smooth product flow, tighter supply chain, less stock!
