HeidelbergCement announces FRITZ & MACZIOL as ‘preferred supplier’

25 November 2014

Germany: The IT logistic solution VAS, of FRITZ & MACZIOL, has become an integral part of the 'Logistic Efficiency Optimisation' (LEO) initiative initiative of HeidelbergCement.

Within the project, an integrated material-flow management will be introduced that will lead to a considerable cost reduction in the fields of logistics. Globally, several plants in the cement, aggregates as well as concrete businesses will be equipped with VAS. The implementation of VAS will lead to a significant optimisation of the dispatch and related logistical processes, as the increased level of automation will result in a much faster execution of many activities within the plants.

In this context, FRITZ & MACZIOL has also been announced as a 'preferred supplier' by HeidelbergCement. "FRITZ & MACZIOL reflects an ideal partner for us in the fields of IT logistics," said Tanja Hofmann, HeidelbergCement's group purchasing spokesperson.

HeidelbergCement currently runs the IT-Logistic solution VAS at four of its German cement plants. The solution will now be further implemented in its remaining German plants. At the same time both sides will work on the international roll-out.

VAS wins Cemex contract

20 November 2013

VAS wins CEMEX Contract

Germany: VAS® the IT logistics system from FRITZ & MACZIOL group has won a contract from Cemex in Germany. The Mexico-based multinational cement producer will use a bespoke version of the software and will roll the system out to several Cemex plants starting in Germany. FRITZ & MACZIOL cited VAS®'s ability to cover all requirements towards an IT logistics solution specified by Cemex as a key reason for its selection. At Cemex the implementation of a VAS® workshop is currently being prepared.

"Cemex takes over the role of a trailblazer. At present many firms operating in the raw material sector are thinking about how to standardise their global operations and logistic processes by using a template-based solution in order to replace their older and often isolated systems," said Claus Jordan, the Director of Business Development and Marketing of the FRITZ & MACZIOL Industrial Applications and Services division.

Jordan sees the emergence of Web 2.0 technologies as a reason for this development, as they can be used to simplify the automation of logistic processes within different plants. He added that, "A template-based rollout reduces time, effort and costs on the customers side and as such secures a fast return-on-investment."

Adrian Brown, Sales Director for FRITZ & MACZIOL in UK and Ireland, described VAS® to Global Cement.

This process-orientated software solution for the raw materials industry, forms the entire process chain from delivery via dispatch and loading, right up to departure. As the link between ERP systems and technical systems, VAS® represents the key function for efficient process sequences. In addition, VAS® supports reporting functions and supplies real-time information to further systems, for example for production, sales or controlling. All external technical systems such as the weighing, silo or metering technology are completely integrated into the VAS® logistics system processes.

According to Brown, VAS® is currently used in more than 160 plants worldwide within the raw materials industry. More than 30 of these implementations are within the cement and minerals industries in the UK and Ireland.
