Abstract
Within the research project “Smart Logistics” dynamic control principles of logistic systems have been developed. Real-time information, allocated by RFID-supported Kanban boards, allows a dynamic tour planning of trolley trains. The implementation of the “Smart Logistics” components and software systems shows savings of individual transportation tours and in the result savings of staff requirements. The availability of detailed information of actual production status avoids empty runs of the logistic resources. Furthermore, the research has revealed potentials beyond the realized effects of the project. With the high resolution information available, a dynamic redirection of the logistic train during its tour is feasible. This will lead to more efficient transports and an increased flexibility.
