RWTH Aachen University gave thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions the Databased Services 2017 award. Thyssenkrupp attributed the accolade in part to its radar technology that, the company reported, is capable of performing measurements online and in real time. It is compatible with every kind of equipment in the market, brownfield or greenfield. The company was recognized for its digital solutions and for the highly customized nature of these solutions, thyssenkrupp reported. “For example, for one of our customers, we developed a tailor-made, fully automated longitudinal storage system for bulk materials, Christain Fabry, head of sales performance and procurement, parts and supply management, said. “Knowing the height and shape of each pile, our solution not only automatically directs the re-claimer to exactly the right position, but additionally allows a precise forecast of future demand. In addition, we were also able to increase utilization of the facility significantly.”
