Conception of an automatic coil & scrap handling system at Novelis Deutschland GmbH - Ohle site

Overview

Location: Ohle (Plettenberg), North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
Project duration: May 2023 - January 2024
Production area: approx. 8.000 sqm
Scope of planning: approx. 150 T€

HÖRMANN Rawema Engineering & Consulting GmbH has successfully implemented the conceptual design of an automatic coil & scrap handling system for Novelis Deutschland GmbH - Ohle site. The project aimed to automate material flows, design the new system technology functionally and safely and verify the performance requirements using simulation.

Project content

Automatic conveyor systems for coils and scrap

Conception of automatic conveyor systems for coils, residual windings and empty coils as well as scrap containers. Integration of two coil shears into the overall system with defined transfer points and interfaces.

3D concept planning of the system technology

Development of 3D concept planning including conceptual modeling of the new technology. Visualization of installation areas, path relationships and media connections to ensure integration.

Function and performance simulation

Simulation of the system technology to verify the required functionalities and performance parameters. Evaluation of throughput, availability and bottlenecks as a basis for the design.

Overall safety concept

Conception of an overarching safety concept for systems, handovers and operating processes. Consideration of normative requirements and operational safety measures.

Designing construction measures

Determination of the necessary construction measures for foundations, supporting structure and infrastructure. Clarification of interfaces between technology, construction and operation.

Functional tender

Development of functional tender documents for plant technology and construction measures. Precise service descriptions for structured bid solicitation and evaluation

Advantages of our solution

• Verified performance: Simulations confirm functionality and performance parameters before implementation.
• Interface clarity: 3D concept planning makes transfer points, installation areas and media connections transparent.
• Operational safety: A holistic safety concept increases protection and availability during operation.
• Readiness for implementation: Functional tenders accelerate procurement and ensure comparability of offers.
• Efficient material flows: Sophisticated conveyor concepts for coils and scrap stabilize throughput and reduce handling costs.
