Movers for Steel Plant Logistics

In a steel plant, a Mover transports materials and semi-finished products from yards to production units and between production units, serving both inbound and outbound logistics. The primary focus is to transfer materials efficiently within the plant. A Mover autonomously manages logistics, optimizing material flow and reducing delays.

How does a Mover work?

A Mover constantly communicates with logistics systems to work reliably and efficiently, ensuring the on-time transportation of materials, such as scrap, and semi-finished products, such as steel coils. In a typical setup, a Mover works closely with other automation products from Primetals Technologies, including Trackers, to ensure that the appropriate position is reported to the automation Supervisor.

What makes a Mover unique?

A Mover is designed as an integrated mechatronic packaged unit to operate in the harsh industrial environment of a steel plant. The engineering is based on metal production and logistics know-how. These systems integrate with logistics practices, helping plants maintain productivity and increase asset availability.
