Titel
Ensuring urban supply by enhancing logistics productivity of large factory sites
Abstract
Logistical equipment such as terminals, distribution centers, and production sites are essential factors in determining the performance, quality, cost, and carbon emissions of supply-chains and transportation networks. The main objectil'e of operators is to increase the efficiency Cif logistics systems, specifically quantity, speed, and increased qualityfor the same amount Cif resources. Due to the growth in shipment volumes in recent years, many plants have reached the limits of their capabilities, leading to bottlenecks in the transport chain. Thus with the development of Efficiency in Logistics Facilities (ELA), there is great potential for increasing the efficiency of the processes in the logistic systems and th1ls ensuring economic growth. The primClly goal of the collaborative project ELA is to create a software prototype called EcoSiteManager (ESM). This technology will increase the amount Cif information amilable at logistic facilities including shipments and their properties in relation to resources and their Current status.
