Concept planning for the coilStorage and loading in the rolling mill at ESF Elbe-Stahlwerke Feralpi GmbH

Overview

Location: Riesa, Saxony, Germany
Project duration: 2 months
Production/logistics area: 14.000 square meters

HÖRMANN Rawema Engineering & Consulting GmbH successfully implemented the concept planning for coil storage and loading in the rolling mill for ESF Elbe-Stahlwerke Feralpi GmbH. The aim was to dimension storage, transport and ancillary areas as well as means of transport in a resilient manner, to structure material flows for storage, picking and loading and to determine a preferred variant based on a well-founded comparison of variants.

Project content

Data collection and framework analysis

Collection of relevant fundamentals and analysis of existing logistics flows. Clean data as a basis for dimensioning, layout and evaluation.

Space and capacity dimensioning

Dimensioning of storage, transport and ancillary areas, including parking space and buffer concepts. Derivation of capacities for a stable material flow.

Means of transport and fleet requirements

Determination of the types of means of transport and the required number. Design of areas of use and capacity utilization to ensure efficient operation.

Storage, picking and loading concepts

Development of process concepts for storage, picking and loading. Clear interfaces, transfer points and delivery logic for smooth processes.

Creating and evaluating layout variants (2D/3D)

Creating and evaluating various layout variants in two dimensions (2D) and three dimensions (3D). Examination of path relationships, parking spaces and material flow quality.

Variant comparison and preferred variant

Structured comparison of layout variants based on a catalog of criteria. Selection of the preferred variant with a reasoned decision recommendation.

Structural requirements

Evaluation of the structural requirements and interfaces. Derivation of necessary measures for implementation in existing buildings.

Advantages of our solution

• Planning reliability: Sound dimensioning and clear comparison of variants create a reliable basis for decision-making.
• Efficient material flows: Sophisticated concepts for storage, picking and loading reduce handling times and stabilize throughput.
• Transparency: 2D planning and 3D visualization make route relationships, areas and interfaces visible at an early stage.
• Scalability: Designs and layouts can be flexibly adapted to quantity and expansion stages.
• Implementability: Early clarification of construction requirements reduces risks and speeds up implementation.
