Technical Logistics | Material Flow Automation
Technical Logistics | Material Flow Automation deals with the development of innovative solutions in research and technology as well as in practice-oriented industrial projects. The focus is on the development, improvement and optimization of machines and individual components in order to make material flow more efficient and sustainable.
Our work covers the following areas:
- Machine development
- Automated guided vehicles, mobile robotics
- Test laboratory for material handling design elements
Technical Logistics | Logistics Processes
The field of expertise can be divided into four areas:
- Changeable production logistics (cross-departmental field of activity)
- Simulation, KI, Machine-Learning in intralogistics
- Logistics Concepts
- Green Logistics
At the IFT various test stations can be used for research activities, industrial cooperations and teaching. The Learning Warehouse (LernLager) e.g. can be used for the scientific analysis of manual picking processes.
New developments of the IFT in the field of flexible production logistics, for example in automobile production, are tested in ARENA2036 (Active Research Environment for the Next Generation of Automobiles).
