Feasibility analysis and material flow simulation at Schwermetall-Halbzeugwerk GmbH & Co. KG

Overview

Location: Stolberg, Germany
Simulation environment: 3D environment
Database: Real-time production data

HÖRMANN Rawema Engineering & Consulting GmbH has successfully carried out a feasibility analysis and material flow simulation for Schwermetall-Halbzeugwerk GmbH & Co. KG. The project aimed to conceptually evaluate an automated coil warehouse, optimize material flows and simulate the effects of changing processes in a resilient manner.

Project content

Warehouse concept for automated coil warehouse

Creation of a practical warehouse concept with clear functional areas, transfer points and interfaces. The basis for safe and scalable coil logistics.

Update, analyze and expand material flow

Update the existing material flow, analyze bottlenecks and add automated processes. Targeted dimensioning of throughputs and buffer areas.

Layout variants (2D/3D)

Development of layout variants in 2D and 3D. Evaluation of path relationships, storage areas and installation conditions in the context of the hall.

Simulation of capacity, utilization and intensities

Simulation of storage capacities, utilization and handling intensities in a 3D environment. Integration of real-time production data for realistic results.

Traffic simulation and trajectories

Simulation of the traffic situation with trajectories for trucks. Safeguarding of routes, turning areas and delivery points.

Feasibility analysis of changed material flows

Evaluation of the feasibility of process changes and their impact on performance and stability. Derivation of recommendations for implementation.

Advantages of our solution

• Decision reliability: 3D simulations with real-time data create a reliable basis for variant selection and design.
• Planning reliability: Precise dimensioning of capacities and buffer areas reduces technical and operational risks.
• Increased efficiency: Optimized material flows stabilize throughput and shorten distances.
• Traffic safety: Tracking curve analyses safeguard deliveries, maneuvering areas and operations.
