Abstract

In this study, the status quo of wireless communication technologies in intralogistics in Germany is investigated. What are companies’ plans for the future? Which potentials and challenges are associated with them? In addition, the study examines the extent to which intralogistics companies are already using or considering 5G campus networks. To answer these questions, a qualitative survey of German intralogistics companies was conducted. It turns out that currently WLAN is most applied technology for wireless communication in intralogistics. 5G is still at an early stage. It is not very widespread, especially among small companies. None of the interviewees stated that their company uses 5G in daily operational business so far. Some companies are testing its use in pilot projects. Currently, the companies lack on quantification of the benefits of implementing 5G as well as software and hardware. According to the survey, use cases for 5G can be an alternative when existing wireless communication systems reach their limits. The findings of this qualitative study can serve as a basis for a quantitative study.
