Berlin, 3 December 2007 - PSI has been charged by the Canadian company Dofasco Inc. with the delivery of a management system for the slab yard logistics at their site in Hamilton, Ontario. The system will be developed on the basis of the vertical industry solution PSImetals WTM (Warehouse and Transport Management). It will support Dofasco in managing five slab yards at the headquarters in Hamilton and with the timely and optimised ordering of the transportation of the slabs for further processing. The start-up of operations with the solution is scheduled for the second half of 2008.
In the future the position of every single slab will be administered by PSImetals WTM, whereby the slabs will no longer have to be manually labelled as has been the case. To accomplish this Dofasco is simultaneously installing a GPS-based system with the PSI solution. The GPS system will track the position of the cranes and the slab carriers, thus increasing safety in the warehouse areas. In selecting the new logistics solution Dofasco placed great emphasis on the decision for a strong provider and an internationally accepted industrial standard. With Dofasco, PSI has again gained an internationally renowned company in the steel industry as a new customer and made another important step in the internationalisation of their core business.
PSI AG develops and integrates individual solutions, on the basis of its own software, for the management of energy networks (electricity, gas, oil, water, heat), cross-company production management (steel, automotive, mechanical engineering, logistics) and infrastructure management for telecommunications, transport and safety. PSI was founded in 1969 and currently employs more than 1,000 persons in the group.
