Rekonfiguration von Intralogistiksystemen mit Hilfe von Simulation unter Einbeziehung von Umfeldbedingungen – Potenzialanalyse

Abstract

The demands on logistics, especially on intralogistics, have increased significantly in the last few years due to increasing heterogeneity and dynamics within production. This trend will make it necessary for intralogistics systems to be regularly adapted to changing requirements in order to keep companies competitive. Before the intralogistics system can be adapted to the new conditions, a review of effort and benefit should be done. The time for reconfiguration depends on environmental conditions. One possibility to reconfigure intralogistics systems under consideration of environmental conditions is simulation. This paper presents different types of simulation as well as possible environmental conditions of intralogistics systems. Furthermore, the potentials of simulation for reconfiguration as well as for mapping the environmental conditions are discussed.
