About 3tn Industriesoftware
3tn Industriesoftware GmbH develops and implements industrial lead software for transport and storage processes in the metal industry. The standard product TWMS/metals controls and visualizes storage activities in steel and aluminum mills as well as Steel Service Centers – from the strand casting process to truck or rail shipment. The system optimizes storage capacity for slabs, coils, balled sheets, and billets, avoids unnecessary relocations, calculates force vectors for safe coil stacking, and precisely tracks crane positions. TWMS/metals communicates with ERP, MES, and Level-1/Level-2 automation systems, as well as with sensors on cranes and transport vehicles, utilizing a scalable service-oriented architecture. In addition to software development, 3tn also handles projects as a general contractor, from feasibility studies to installation, commissioning, training, 24/7 support, and remote maintenance. Customers include Salzgitter AG, thyssenkrupp Steel, and voestalpine. The company was founded in 1999 and is part of the Eckelmann Group.
