Our solution

 

Amreyah Cimpor Cement Company has the system implemented since 2008 to manage the loading/unloading processes inside its industrial unit.

SLV Cement was customized to meet the needs of this industrial unit, providing the necessary tools and equipments for the complete automation of its functional areas (weighing, parking, entry/exit gates, bag loading and raw material unloading), the tools for process management and business analysis (web portals, statistical data, business indicators, automatic alerts, etc.) and the integration with SAP ERP in online/offline mode (to ensure the plant will work even in case of communication failure).

With this solution the truck driver performs the loading/unloading process in self-service mode, interacting with the system components: he identifies himself in the park kiosk, that validates the permission to load/unload from SAP, and waits for the system to call him; when called in the information panel, he goes to the entry weighbridge, identifies himself and the system registers the first weigh after checking with positioning sensors that the truck is in the correct position; when the traffic lights inform him to proceed, he goes to the indicated loading/unloading area, where he performs the operation assisted by SLV kiosks; finally he goes to the exit weighbridge, he identifies himself and the system registers the second weigh and prints the necessary documentation in the kiosk, which concludes the operation.
