/ 01 · WHAT WAS THE CHALLENGE?

Unmanned Crane and Continuous Material Flow in Steel Production

Coil movements relied on operator decisions while stock position, destination and safe route information remained disconnected.

The objective was to create a sustainable operating model rather than automate an isolated task.

CHALLENGE

Operational consistency

Coil movements relied on operator decisions while stock position, destination and safe route information remained disconnected.

ENGINEERING SCOPE

Integrated architecture

We integrated task management, load identification, positioning, collision prevention and production-system feedback.

VALIDATION

Scenario-based acceptance

Normal operation, exceptions, recovery and critical safety scenarios were tested with operations teams.

/ 02 · HOW DID WE SOLVE IT?

Engineering approach

From requirement to system behavior

  • Field requirements and operating constraints were modelled before implementation.
  • Equipment, software and data interfaces were designed around a common operating context.
  • Operator guidance, alarms and recovery scenarios were included in the design.

Controlled implementation

  • We integrated task management, load identification, positioning, collision prevention and production-system feedback.
  • Changes were verified through traceable test and acceptance scenarios.
  • Operations and maintenance teams participated in commissioning and handover.
/ 03 · WHAT CHANGED AFTERWARDS?

Measurable operational outcome

Material handling became a measurable internal-logistics process with safer routes, fewer empty movements and traceable stock.
