In this project, qoncept performed an engineering study to evaluate the effects of increasing the ladle weight on a ladle turret. The work focused on verifying overall stability with respect to the foundation, anchoring, and slewing bearing. Structural calculations were carried out to determine whether the turret could safely accommodate the higher load conditions. The study provided a reliable basis for further decision-making regarding potential design modifications and operational safety, ensuring that the turret’s load-bearing capacity was clearly assessed under the new requirements.

In this project, qoncept delivered the complete engineering and execution for the greening of the outer wall of an industrial hall. The scope included the design of all required components, the installation of the planting system, and the integration of an automated irrigation solution. The project combined technical planning with on-site realization, ensuring both structural feasibility and sustainable long-term operation. The outcome was a fully engineered green wall that improves the building’s exterior environment while showcasing the advantages of modern greening technologies.


Solution

qontrol MAPS

Short Desription

In this project, qoncept supported a German foundry in achieving two strategic goals: cost savings through raw material optimization and the digital replacement of manual stock yard management.

The solution is based on the qontrol framework and combines two dedicated applications. The qontrol MAPS charge optimization application calculates the cost-optimized scrap mix for each heat, ensuring smarter raw material use, improved energy efficiency, and substantial cost savings. In parallel, the stock yard management application replaces manual workflows with a structured digital system for managing storage locations and material movements, creating transparency and reliability across the supply chain.

Seamlessly integrated into the customer’s IT landscape, the system provides operators with clear digital charge instructions and management with detailed reporting tools. This project highlights how digitalization not only unlocks measurable cost advantages but also strengthens process reliability, transparency, and resource efficiency.
