Cement/concrete manufacturers, often running 24 hours a day, need the best tools for managing internal and external transportations. Vehicle management can be significantly more effective with Scirocco readers in the premises. The delivery process becomes faster for trucks and railcars, as well as for unloading coal to the furnaces and for loading different qualities of cement.
Every truck, trailer and railcar is given a tag, and readers are installed at the plant entrance and exit gates, at the truck loading points and, when applicable, along the railroad tracks. Inaccurate manual registration with handheld cards and the likes is therefore completely eliminated.
The solution with Scirocco fits this application perfect thanks to its good reading range, simple integration and low reader cost. Faster weighing, increased plant flexibility and further improved quality assurance system in the advanced cement manufacturing process is obtained.
The turnaround time for vehicles loading and unloading is drastically reduced, not only because of fast passage at the identification points but also thanks to that the large number of transactions involved makes automatic creating of shipping document possible. The plant benefits from more accurate delivery data per customer as well as from better information on product loss control.
