Yard Automation Solutions for the Metals Industry

Yard automation solutions specialist ABF and Primetals Technologies are partnering to explore optimizing solutions for interplant logistics. The optimization of quality, productivity, and flexibility demands the automation of intralogistics of semi-finished and finished products and a steel plant. From their location to a product “genealogy,” a fully automated yard system combines the comprehensive expertise of ABF and Primetals Technologies to provide the optimal solution for producers.
