As manufacturing industries accelerate toward automation and digitalization, traditional bar steel (round steel) storage and processing methods can no longer meet the demands for high efficiency and cost control. China JSSL Company, leveraging extensive experience in smart logistics and intelligent manufacturing, has delivered a fully integrated digital bar processing workshop solution for Client A.
This solution enables full automation and digital control from raw material storage to semi-finished product output.
Project Background
Client A maintains an average inventory of approximately 5,000 tons of bar materials (diameter 20–240mm, length 3m/6m). The traditional manual operation model faced several challenges:
Large warehouse footprint and low space utilization
High labor costs and low handling efficiency
Long internal logistics routes affecting production rhythm
Lack of data integration and real-time visibility
To support capacity expansion, the company required an advanced smart storage and processing system.

Integrated Smart Solution
China JSSL Company designed a solution centered on a bridge-type bar AS/RS system, integrating:
Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS)
Automatic sorting and precise picking
CNC machine automatic loading/unloading
Integrated machining centers
AGV-based material handling
WMS + WES + ERP (SAP) + MES integration
This enables end-to-end automation and data-driven control.
