ABB AbilityTM Stockyard Management System


Performance improvement for stockyard operations

The ABB AbilityTM Stockyard


Management System closes the
gap between ERP systems and
the operational level.
The state-of-the-art software
solution includes several functions
which reduce handling effort and
increase the efficiency of
bulk material handling terminals,
stockyards of coal-fired power
plants, steel plants or mines.

— Stockyards are connecting consecutive steps in Benefits


01 3D-view of
stockyard based on materials transportation chains with different time • Inventory information of material stock
calculated pile model frames. In order to manage one or multiple inputs • Increase storage capacity without a huge
