Warehouse management and material handling
Improve steel operations with autonomous yards, crane upgrades, and warehouse management solutions.
With the Integrated Autonomous Crane System (IACS), steel manufacturers can use the continuously updated Warehouse Management System (WMS). Here are the key benefits of our solutions:
- Improved personnel safety
- Increased material movements efficiency
- Real-time strategic decision making
Improve inventory tracking, crane movement, and yard safety with warehouse management solutions designed to boost productivity and reduce manual tasks. They adapt to your workflow for smarter decisions.
Crane automation helps steel manufacturers integrate cranes into their operational processes, reduce manual tasks, and improve safety and efficiency through intelligent scheduling and advanced algorithms.
The warehouse management system is a logistics optimization software for steel, enabling real-time tracking, crane coordination, and smart storage across all transport types. It is designed to optimize every crane movement.
