A prominent issue in the cement industry is undoubtedly the reduction of CO2 emissions. At the same time, sustainability and the environment, digitalization and automation, as well as circular economy and waste management are also of great importance.\r\n\r\nWithin a cement plant, plant logistics – specifically yard management – and the entire logistics workflow present significant challenges that must be automated, digitized and optimized to ensure efficient material supply, smooth loading and seamless transportation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”narrow_row”][vc_column]
Yard Management and Logistics Software Challenges for the Cement Industry<\/h2><\/div>[vc_column_text]Axians IAS has been intensively involved in the cement industry for almost 30 years.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThanks to our extensive expertise and a large number of successfully completed projects, we know the global cement market and the logistical challenges inside out:<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion][vc_tta_section title=”Process automation” tab_id=”1694682586886-fbdb7517-17bd”][vc_column_text]The automation of logistics and loading processes requires the integration of different systems (IT + OT) and the smooth exchange of data between them. One challenge is to find a software solution that enables seamless automation and ensures efficient communication between the IT systems involved.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Integration with existing IT systems” tab_id=”1694682586894-2989b7f1-a4a1″][vc_column_text]A cement plant often has various existing IT systems such as ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), warehouse systems or scales. A new software solution should enable seamless integration with these systems to ensure smooth data exchange and effective collaboration.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Transparency and traceability” tab_id=”1694682635264-1ec20319-055f”][vc_column_text]One challenge is to ensure a transparent and traceable supply chain to track the status and location of materials or orders in real time. In addition, it is important to identify bottlenecks within the plant and then eliminate them. The ability to monitor the entire logistics process in real time is of great importance, as this enables the monitoring of raw material deliveries, transports and production processes. This allows potential problems to be identified early and appropriate action taken to minimize interruptions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Planning and scheduling” tab_id=”1694682656391-767d8835-256f”][vc_column_text]The requirements for the planning and scheduling of trucks in the cement plant include the efficient coordination of raw material deliveries and end product transports as well as a realistic, constantly updated overview of all logistical processes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Integration of suppliers and customers” tab_id=”1694682675256-db689bd6-3115″][vc_column_text]Integrating suppliers and customers into the logistics process can be challenging, as collaboration, communication and data exchange between partners must be seamless.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row ppi_row_padding=”ppi_remove_padding_bottom” full_width=”narrow_row”][vc_column]
