Innovations in intralogistics

Module 1: Automation in the warehouse

• Mobile robots for various transportation tasks in the warehouse, such as AGVs for order picking, as well as for drone-based inventory and monitoring
• Automated storage systems: Presentation of modern storage systems, e.g. for static and dynamic picking, based on criteria relevant to decision-making
• Efficient order picking (Pick-by-X): Presentation of the evolution from paper-based order picking to all kinds of technical aids (pick-by-scan/-light/-voice/-vision/motion/...) to robot-assisted order picking
• Green warehousing: starting points for reducing energy requirements and emissions in the warehouse

Module 2: Digitalization in the warehouse

• Modern identification solutions: Scanning, Bluetooth, LoRaWAN, RFID, sensor systems
• Realizing visions with augmented reality and virtual reality
• Material flow simulation as a powerful tool in intralogistics planning
• Artificial intelligence: basics and examples
• Other digitalization trends in the warehouse: including blockchain technology, expansion to include analytical tasks, emergence of new job profiles (warehouse employees with programming skills, data analysts, drone pilots, etc.)
