Automatisierungstechnologien in der Intralogistik

In this paper, we will first look at the fundamental drivers that are pushing logistics to use more automation technologies. Technologies in the various functional areas of a warehouse are then presented. Technical data and the functionalities of the technologies are described. On this basis, a strengths and weaknesses analysis of the technologies is carried out. In order to be able to assess the maturity level of the technologies, the technologies are assigned to the maturity levels based on criteria from the method. This is followed by a process-related analysis of incoming goods as an example process. The aim here is to identify potential errors that may occur. In the final step, the possibility of retrofitting is examined using the information obtained from the previous analyses.
