Autonomously Controlled Storage Allocation on an Automobile Terminal

  • Chapter
Understanding Autonomous Cooperation and Control in Logistics

Abstract

Today, planning and control of logistic processes on automobile terminals are generally executed by centralised logistics systems, which in many cases cannot cope with the high requirements for flexible order processing due to increasing dynamics and complexity. The main business processes on automobile terminals — notification of vehicles by automobile manufacturer, transport to automobile terminal, storage and technical treatment as well as delivery to automobile dealer — are planned and controlled by a central application software system. By establishing autonomous control, vehicles are enabled to render decisions on their own and according to this determine their way through a logistics network on the basis of an own system of objectives.
