The challenges
Heavy impact of logistics costs in the steel industry
Before introducing Transporeon’s Transportation Management Platform, ArcelorMittal faced the typical challenges in the steel industry, things like short term orders and just-in-time deliveries, unforeseen fluctuations impacting loading activities, high throughput times, arbitrary loading order because of the space restrictions at the facility and communication difficulties due to the many different nationalities of the truck drivers.
The Solution
Perfect synergy between systems has changed the game
Since 2007, ArcelorMittal Hamburg has been digitising its logistics processes with the help of the Transporeon Platform. The system is perfectly embedded in the existing SAP landscape of ArcelorMittal via an interface. In addition, the yard management system from Peripass has been in use since 2022.
Collaborative Solutions
The winning solution comes from connecting with partners
ArcelorMittal Hamburg found that using a combination of Time Slot Management and Peripass yielded superior results compared to using either service independently.
