6 SOLUTIONS FOR ALUMINIUM ROLLING PLANTS MANUFACTURE OF QUALITY ALUMINIUM PRODUCTS In the cost-effective production of high-quality aluminium products such as foils, strips or sheets, it is crucial to optimize cross-integration of the different storage systems as well as the proces- sing steps at the rolling mill. This requires fully automated intralogistics solutions that both save resources and ensure efficient processes. From automatic crane systems for the raw aluminum ingots, the complete logistical connection of the hot rolling mills to the cold rolling mills, through 1 An automatic crane is the core of the intralogistics concept at Aleris in Belgium 2 Up to seven aluminium coils can be stacked in the high-bay warehouse 3 A coil transfer car (CTC) is used for intermediate transport at Xiashun in China 4 CTCs are also used at Aleris for transport to the place where rolling processes are undertaken 5 Tilting table for processing ingots at Zhongwang in China 3 4 2 5 to intelligently designed transport and storage systems for the aluminum coils, of up to 35 t in weight and several hundred degrees hot, which are particularly susceptible to external damage. We integrate all the necessary material flows into a comprehensive automation concept encompassing a control system, warehouse ma- nagement computer, control level and connection to ERP systems. 1
