With this rollout, the application for digitizing and optimizing loading and logistics processes in the bulk materials industry is now deployed in over 1,000 plants worldwide. This milestone marks the impressive growth of the ICT and logistics solutions specialist over the past decade \u2013 back in 2015, the number of installations stood at 180.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row ppi_row_padding=&#8221;ppi_remove_padding_top&#8221; full_width=&#8221;stretch_narrow_row&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]The VAS Yard Management solution went live by early 2025 at 14 Heidelberg Materials cement plants in France, including nine production plants and five terminals (depots). Among them is the company\u2019s 1,000th plant in Bruneseau, Paris, where the solution manages the fully automated loading of trucks with cement. No on-site personnel are required for the processes, as drivers can handle all steps independently. During the initial week after the go-live, the 14 plants processed over 3,000 delivery notes with trucks and full trains. Jean-Luc Degrange, Project Manager at Heidelberg Materials France, expressed his satisfaction with the project\u2019s success:<strong> &#8220;Planning and executing the rollout of this large-scale project across 14 plants was a unique challenge for our team and Axians. Together, we successfully completed this project. We congratulate Axians IAS on its 1,000th implementation and wish them continued success with the next 1,000 deployments. \u201c<\/strong>\r\n\r\nGlobally, the VAS solution ensures the smooth processing of over 10 million truckloads per year. As a result, thousands of delivery and loading processes are streamlined daily, depending on the plant\u2019s size. Jens B\u00fcschl, Head of Operations at Axians IAS, explains: <strong>\u201cThe successful go-live across 14 cement plants, including the 1,000th plant in Bruneseau, represents a major achievement for our VAS solution. Processing over 3,000 delivery notes in just one week demonstrates how effectively our solution optimizes plant operations. We sincerely thank Heidelberg Materials for their trust and look forward to continuing our collaboration to digitalize additional plants.\u201d<\/strong>\r\n\r\nFor more than 30 years, Axians IAS solution applications have been trusted worldwide and are now used in over 30 countries.
