Building materials are the foundation of any construction project. However, without efficient building material logistics, projects are delayed, costs are high, and storage errors are frequent. Modern warehouses in the building materials industry are therefore increasingly relying on digital solutions and automation: With real-time digital twins and laser localization, logistics specialists in the building materials … Weiterlesen …

Digital logistics refers to the planning, control, and optimization of logistics processes using digital technologies such as software, sensors, automation, artificial intelligence, and data analytics. The goal of digital warehouse management is to increase transparency, efficiency, and flexibility along the entire supply chain. Four steps guide the way to optimizing inventory management using warehouse and … Weiterlesen …

The Overlooked Challenge in Intralogistics  In many industrial companies, containers play a crucial role by transporting raw materials, semi-finished goods, or finished products within the plant or between different locations. Yet in practice, container management often remains a blind spot. Questions like “Where is a specific container?”, “Is it full or already empty?”, or “Was … Weiterlesen …

Digitalization has long made its way into the warehouses of manufacturing companies. Many are taking major steps toward automating their processes and are now even leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI). Along the digital transformation journey, inconsistencies and roadblocks emerge—especially where isolated IT systems hit their limits. The root cause often lies in a fragile data foundation … Weiterlesen …

So Logistics Managers Don’t Have to Venture into the Forest for Traceability In the paper and packaging industry, raw materials are often stored in large, two-meter bales. This presents significant challenges for intralogistics, not only because of the space requirements but also due to the legal obligation to ensure traceability of the materials used. With … Weiterlesen …

High-quality real-time data is the foundation of automated, AI-driven processes in warehousing. Handheld scanners simply can’t deliver: their error rates are too high. To bring AI into intralogistics, the manual scanner must be replaced with cutting-edge solutions. Laser localization and real-time tracking allow Artificial Intelligence to take charge.  Data is the currency of future technologies. … Weiterlesen …

In modern, effective fleet management for forklift trucks, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) operate alongside manned vehicles (human-driven lift trucks – HDLs). Humans are increasingly becoming the conductors who harmonize the interplay of technologies between the storage shelves. Between the warehouse shelves, rumors are circulating about a future in which machines completely replace humans: Some forklift … Weiterlesen …

Digital twins have established themselves as a forward-looking tool in intralogistics, production and engineering. They promise numerous advantages and raise optimization potential in order processing. But what is behind the term, where are digital twins used and what are the benefits of real-time localization in warehouse operations? Major changes in the market are affecting manufacturing … Weiterlesen …
