BILLET YARD

Features

Billet Yard Automation system manages the complexity of your billet or slab yard using a physical model of the yard and a set of optimization rules for stacking based on key product properties such as heat number, grade, dimensions and sales order.

The cranes are equipped with touch panel PCs used to receive instructions and report movements. In order to simplify the display the system groups billets with the same key properties giving the operator a more abstract view of the yard.
