Phoenix cement Works: VAS in the heart of Westphalia
Key project for small and medium-sized businesses
The Phoenix cement Works Krogbeumker GmbH & Co. KG, a long-established company within the Westphalian cement industry, has decided to introduce the VAS IT logistics system by
Axians. "Until now, we have had to manage the processes manually and on paper", said Phoenix plant Manager Kai Wagner in ex-planation of the company"s reorientation. "With the aid of the VAS IT lo-gistics system, the processes within the cement works are now to be au-tomated gradually, and unmanned loading implemented across the plant". The next step will be the integration into a modern ERP system, which would replace the pre-existing solution. In addition, the processes of sack handling and material deliveries are to be integrated into the VAS IT logis-tics system. "The high flexibility and the possibility of stepwise optimisa-tion of our business processes were major criteria for deciding on Axians. In addition, the VAS IT logistics system has already proven its practicability", explained Kai Wagner.
