Productivity and Traceability
Average cycle time per batch of steel
- Average value: between 4 and 8 hours per batch, depending on the type of product and process (casting, rolling, cooling).
- Estimated improvement with Safeloc: reduction of 10-12% through traceability of processes and assets.
- Application: monitoring of Work in Progress (WIP) in continuous casting areas, ovens, and finishing lines.
Optimize every phase of the steelmaking process with precise real-time traceability.
Traceability of machinery, coils and tools
- Current value: partial or manual traceability in more than 40% of European plants.
- Estimated improvement with Safeloc: complete digital traceability with accuracy up to 30 cm.
- Application: locating cranes, forklifts, coils, molds and critical tools.
Avoid wasted time and errors in the management of industrial assets.
Unproductive time due to internal travel
- Average value: up to 20% of total time in plants without digitization.
- Estimated improvement with Safeloc: reduction to 10-12% through heat maps and optimized routes.
- Application: route analysis, congestion zone detection, dynamic planning.
Reduce downtime and improve operational efficiency in heavy industrial environments.
Job security
Incidents in casting, rolling and load handling areas
- Average value: 5,6 incidents per 100 workers/year.
- Estimated improvement with Safeloc: reduction of 40-50%.
- Application: geofences, proximity alerts, access control to thermal and mechanical risk zones.
Protect your workers in high-risk environments with robust location technology.
Risk of unauthorized presence in critical areas
- Current value: high exposure in plants without digital control.
- Estimated improvement with Safeloc: risk reduction through access control and positioning.
- Application: virtual delimitation of hazardous areas, real-time alerts.
Prevent accidents caused by unauthorized access with intelligent industrial safety systems.
