Innovation by tradition

Where innovation is a tradition, it logically does not stop at the logistical processes. For this reason, OAS AG was commissioned to develop a yard management concept for the logistical processes of C. Thywissen GmbH.

The aim was to increase measurement accuracy during loading, reduce the workload of employees on site and consistently digitize the entire logistics documentation. Due to the limited space between the docks in the port of Neuss, this yard management project was also an interesting challenge in terms of traffic logistics.

Loading processes at the Thywissen factory premises were significantly improved by the introduction of an OAS Yard Management System.

To increase measurement accuracy in the loading process, six new truck scales for direct determination of the loading weight were installed at the loading points, thus switching from mass flow measurement to weighing technology.

Two newly installed multilingual registration terminals (Logistic Terminal SWB) with pager output for the outside area and six new loading terminals (Logistic Terminal SBD-T) for independent loading and monitoring by the driver have consistently introduced the self-service principle and thus permanently relieved the company's own employees. Documentation is carried out digitally via connection to existing ERP and process control system.

"The system delivered by OAS has fully met our expectations. Communication and processes have improved enormously since then," reports Daniel Sengpiel.
