Digital Supervisors for Steel Production

In a steel plant, a Supervisor oversees intralogistics processes by optimizing material flows and the movement of equipment, calculating optimal routes within defined constraints, and managing fully automated sequences. The primary focus is to coordinate these processes effectively. The Supervisor is responsible for managing both equipment and personnel to ensure efficient material flow and process execution.

How does a Supervisor work?

A Supervisor prevents unplanned stoppages and delays in the intralogistics processes it monitors, for example, scrap transportation and management. A Supervisor is seamlessly connected to multiple Trackers to collect information on the position of movable equipment and the location of specific materials during the steel production process.

What makes a Supervisor unique?

A Supervisor possesses detailed data on plant utilization, cranes, ladle cars, layouts, and other intralogistics aspects within a steel plant. Reports generated by the Supervisor assist in identifying bottlenecks and support making informed investment decisions in intralogistics solutions, where investments are required. For day-to-day operations, Supervisors assist their human counterparts in maintaining availability and ensuring on-time delivery of essential materials.
