CISDI-ECIA Storage Technology
Eco-friendly, Competitive, Integrated & Inteligent and Adaptable CISDI's 2nd generation of eco-friendly storage technology is a single integrated yard, combining storage, proportioning, blending, intelligent control, it has significant advantages in land usage, management and operating costs.
CISDI 1st generation of Eco-friendly storage technology
CISDI's was the first to research and develop eco-friendly storage technology, the B/C/D/E series covered stockyard systems have been widely applied in new or revamped projects since 2006.
Online Stockyard Revamping
CISDI has a rich experience in online revamping of traditional stockyards into covered or intelligent stockyards. With step-by-step planning and simulations the impact on production can be minimised.
See news item - CISDI Revamp the Material Stockyard at Handan Steel.
Material Yard Intelligent Control
CISDI has successfully developed the intelligent control and management system to build the “accurate, efficient, safe” digital and intelligent material yard.
- Intelligent real-time inventory management.

Mass Flow Simulation and Mass Flow Study of Large Stockyards
By applying mass flow simulation method and combining stockyard scheduling strategy with computer simulation, it can realize simulation study on sophisticated stockyards in steel plants and achieve precise verification, evaluation, thereby optimizing stockyard design and production scheduling.
Development and Analysis of Key Equipment and Process
CISDI is proud of its strong capacity in developing and commercializing key equipment for raw material handling and treatment, especially in key equipment and process development and analysis, including dynamic analysis and control for large shuttle conveyor, environment-friendly tripper, updated large discharging car, belt conveyor head extending device and high-capacity conveyor.
Circular Economy and Environmentally Friendly Design
It has been successfully applied to recycled material treatment for Bayuquan stockyard, providing a reliable solution for steelmakers to develop circular economy.
The wide application of water spraying, surface covering, wind-proof net (wall) and closed stockyard design accomplish remarkable results in the fields of dust protection, energy efficiency and environmental protection.
