Steel producer ArcelorMittal Eisenhüttenstadt GmbH has issued Siemens Metals Technologies with the acceptance certificate for the new storage logistics system in its finishing department. The Simetal Siloc logistics system now provides the company with a precise picture of its stock at all times and the over 40,000 slabs that pass through the slab storage each year. It not only enhances the composition of the stacks of slabs, but also automates logging of manual restacking operations. Simetal Siloc thus improves workflows and simplifies stock control. Cycle times have also been reduced because the slabs can be fed to the rolling mills at a higher temperature.
