Production and operational challenges faced by metallurgical casting enterprises

In a production environment with high energy consumption, long processes, and multi process collaboration, enterprises need more efficient material collaboration capabilities, more stable production organization methods, and more refined process and energy consumption control capabilities
Sheet Metal Type

Sheet Metal Type

Sheet Metal Type

The management of mixed storage of multiple specifications and overweight materials is complex. 

The stacking of sheet materials occupies a large area and has a low utilization rate of storage space. 

Batch production management is complex and requires strict batch traceability. 

The production and warehousing rhythms are not synchronized, and the efficiency of line-side material supply is low

Long Products

Long Products

Long Products

Long sized materials have high storage difficulty and low storage utilization rate; High safety risks during transportation

Complex management of mixed storage of different specifications

Low logistics efficiency in the workshop, affecting production pace

Roll Material Category

Roll Material Category

Roll Material Category

Coil materials are heavy, and their transferring and storage have high requirements for equipment 

The manual scheduling is inefficient and it affects the continuity of production. 

There are many batches of coil materials, and they are prone to be mixed in production, storage and shipment 

The information regarding storage, production and shipment is not transparent, making the management extremely challenging.
