Abstract
Today's research projects propose a modular manufacturing environment for automotive production sites, which adapt itself autonomously and makes manufacturing decisions without the need of human interaction. Tugger trains are an energy-efficient possibility to handle intralogistics material supply due to the bundling of transport volumes but reaches its limits in the proposed automotive manufacturing environments. The spatial nearness of the production units and the necessity of a high-frequented and small-scaled supply lead to the application of small-scaled autonomous transport entities. The main disadvantage of this technology in turn is a higher intralogistics traffic. Therefore, the concluded concept of this paper connects the advantages of both technologies.
