Models and Areas

We offer simulation models for every part of the value chain of steel making. Explore key areas with essential model features and the typical challenges our simulations address.

Scrap Yard

An exceptional scrap yard model captures every detail. From accurate kinematics of scrap handling equipment to realistic working schedules, the model includes steel grade-based scrap bucket recipes down to the scrap layers. A realistic scrap pile model is essential for managing tasks and asset utilization efficiently, featuring offload, bulk, and up-piling areas with dynamic heights.

Typical applications:

  • Integrating scrap processing plants
  • Reducing bucket loading time
  • Optimize scrap manipulator fleet
  • Reduce production losses of EAFs

Melt Shop

Melt Shop

Cranes are at the heart of melt shop logistics. Precise trajectory planning to avoid any obstacles using parallel or sequentially movements in all axes, is the mandatory. Multiple cranes in the same bay must coordinate their work, clearly stating which should go first while others yield. For a full workload not only ladles must be considered but also other transports like tundishes, slag pots, big bags, or pallets. Our model incorporates these and many additional features to clearly identify the bottleneck in the production.

Typical applications:

  • Production increase, new steel grades and routes
  • Any major CAPEX investment
  • Crane workload and production limits
  • Decarbonization and Green Steelmaking

Semi-Finished Products

From the run-out of the caster to storage and finally to the reheating furnace, this area is pure logistics. For realistic production the simulation model must operate at the billet, bloom, or slab level. Only with mechanically accurate implementation of pusher tables, cooling beds and roller tables can bottlenecks be identified. The location of each billet must be specified down to the stack and level to determine production limits for various formats, lengths, and steel grades combinations.

Typical applications:

  • Production increase and storage optimization
  • New formats, grades and length combinations
  • Optimizing billet stacking and retrieval logic
  • Evaluating hot charging limits

Simulation Software

Want to run simulation yourself?
No problem!

Our software is tailored to the needs of steelmakers, eliminating the need for specialized training in logistics modeling. No coding or scripting required.

Our promise: We are always here to help. Our team works with these models daily, ensuring we know exactly what to do. Get results faster!


Best practice:
  1. We create the initial plant model for you, either as part of a consulting project or dedicatedly.
  2. We train you on the model, conducting results analysis and iterations together.
  3. You take over, and we remain at your service.
  4. You become an expert yourself, only contacting us for critical issues.
If you need a specific feature, we are happy to implement it for you. You'll have the requested feature available quickly, without having to dive deep into the source code yourself.
