Metal Coil Tracking and Crane Operation Optimization
Inventory tracking and crane operator task implementation in metal coil production
About Solution
Metal Coil Tracking and Crane Operation Optimization brief information about our solution.
- If you are in the steel coil production industry, you know how challenging it can be to manage thousands of steel coils weighing more than 10 tons each, in the stock and production areas.
- You also know how crucial it is to transfer those coils to various process lines according to the production schedule, without any delays or errors.
- But how can you ensure that you always know the exact location of those coils, and that your crane operators can find them quickly and easily?
- We have developed a software and hardware solution that tracks the exact location of the coils, gets production work orders from ERP systems and guides crane operators to pick and place the right coils in the right order.
- With our product, you can achieve lean operation, eliminate waste in time and energy, and improve your productivity and profitability.
- Our product is not just a location tracking system, it is a smart decision support system that helps you optimize your coil management process.
- If you want to learn more about how our product can help you, please contact us today. We would love to hear from you and show you a demo of our product.

Millions of Tons of Steel
Our implementation at Tosyali Toyo has been published as case study at our connectivity technology provider «Wirepas» website and social media accounts as a Large scale logistics case in a tough environment. Click to view.
- In production and shipment processes, searching and pointing operations have been removed which previously took 3.5 minutes per coil on average.
- Daily manual addressing operation has been removed. 1 hr/stockyard/day
- Monthly stocktaking operation which was previously completed by at least 50 personnell can now be done automatically in minutes.
Metal Coil Tracking and Crane Operation Optimization
Solution Scope
Area Addressing & Mapping
Production and stock areas as well as transfer paths are addressed into our Sense4 Operation Application Suite.
Asset Tracking & Augmenting
Coils and related assets are Tagged with Sense4 Wireless IOT Tags. Tags are paired with inventory information which augments the tag definition.
Coil positions are tracked and visualized on Digital Twin View of the facility.
Coil positions are tracked and visualized on Digital Twin View of the facility.
Shipment & Work Order Management
Asset transfer orders are collected from ERP systems and presented to all Crane-Forklift operators.
Order Check-In and execution is monitored and synchronized with ERP backend.

Automated Inventory Counting
IOT based automatic counting feature enables the operational teams generate instant inventory counts, which would support physical counting process.
Coil Positioning Optimization
Coil attributes and shipment schedules are used to guide the Crane/Forklift Operators for placing the Coil in an optimum slot in the field.
Crane Operation Digitalization
Cranes bridge and trolley positions are tracked by wireless IOT devices.
Tongs are equipped with Tag Reading and Pick/Release IOT sensors. Picked Coil Tags are validated with work orders.
