Logistics concept for an aluminum rolling mill at Novelis Deutschland GmbH

Overview

Location: Nachterstedt, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany
Project duration: 5 months
Focus: Dimensioning, process optimization, layout, simulation

HÖRMANN Rawema Engineering & Consulting GmbH successfully developed a logistics concept for an aluminium rolling mill at Novelis Deutschland GmbH. The aim was to dimension the automatic logistics system and the track infrastructure in a resilient manner, to stabilize material flows and to design shipping and scrap circulation efficiently.

Project content

Data collection Production program and logistics system

Systematic collection of the production program and the framework conditions of the automatic logistics system. Consolidated data as a basis for design and simulation

Dimensioning and simulation of the logistics system

Calculation and simulation of capacities, throughputs and buffer areas. Evaluation of expansion concepts including track systems to ensure efficiency.

Rough layout

Development of a rough layout with functional, logistics and technical areas. Clear route relationships and delivery logics for a stable material flow.

Dispatch: Dimensioning and concept planning Design of dispatch processes and areas. Development of delivery and loading concepts to ensure predictable pick-up and delivery windows.

Optimization of the scrap cycle Analysis of the scrap cycle and derivation of measures to reduce cycle times and handling costs. Integration into the overall layout and logistics processes.

Budgeting and schedule Creation of a reliable budget and schedule. Transparent basis for decisions and step-by-step implementation.

Advantages of our solution

• Planning reliability: Well-founded dimensioning and simulation create reliable capacity and throughput forecasts.
• Increased efficiency: Optimized logistics and shipping processes reduce travel times, waiting times and handling costs.
• Transparency: Rough layout and clear delivery logic make interfaces and areas visible at an early stage.
• Scalability: Expansion concepts including track systems enable a gradual increase in performance.
• Decision clarity: Budgeting and scheduling provide a reliable basis for investment and implementation decisions.
