Holcim Deutschland benefits from partnership with Schenck Process when retrofitting three cement factories

LOGiQ dispatch automation solution goes live at three locations in just a few weeks Schenck Process has upgraded three cement factories to smart factory standard in less than three months. This is the next successful step in the long-standing, excellent customer relationship between the Darmstadt-based specialist in measuring and process technology and the Swiss construction material producer LafargeHolcim Ltd. The experience gained by both companies last year in implementing the LOGiQ dispatch automation solution in 18 cement factories on the East European market has greatly sped up the process of retrofitting the former Cemex factories for the Holcim Deutschland group. The systems in Dortmund, Duisburg and Beckum went live without any hiccups. By deciding to control and monitor the dispatch of construction materials with automation software from Schenck Process, the cement manufacturer made a conscious move towards a closer collaboration. At Holcim’s request, the Darmstadt-based firm developed a uniform software solution with standardized workflows for the dispatch of cement and incoming raw materials based on the LOGiQ series of software modules. The long-term effect of long-term partnerships has now been confirmed by the German factories switching over to this solution. “Holcim is a very good customer and has a lot of experience with LOGiQ. With the help of an integration team from Schenck Process and Holcim, our software was installed on all systems – by the customer independently too,” said Nino Stölzel, Key Account Manager at Schenck Process, once the project had been successfully completed.
