Abstract

The role of logistics industry is gaining continually in importance due to increasing globalisation and flexibilisation of labour market. Furthermore, new organisational structures and new information and communication technologies emerge accompanied by rising dynamization, automation and digitization of the working world. As a result of modern requirements in logistics, especially the intralogistics sector is increasingly becoming a focus of interest.
