Abstract

The main topic of the submitted paper is intelligent logistics and its integration into production systems. In the beginning, the problem that lies in the inadequate knowledge of the internal state has been defined. The new society-wide trends that will originate in a few years are also outlined. Those trends will affect factories and their logistics systems on a large scale. Therefore, it is necessary to have a strategy that takes these new trends into consideration. In this manuscript, is described a strategy for intelligent production systems, as well as technologies for different types of production-logistic strategies. Many of these technologies can be applied together with the Digital Twin. The Digital Twin is a new concept in the field of designing production and logistics systems in the factory. Finally, we provide a description of the implementation of the Digital Twin into the production and logistics system.

Highlights

  • Logistics is becoming a very powerful engine for the success of industrial organizations in the global markets

  • Delivery and installation of complex production and assembly equipment can take several months, the opportunity to test logistics processes before and during installation can provide, in a dynamic global market, the necessary competitive advantage to the factories [2]. The problem with such implementations of innovative solutions is that factories do not prepare audits of logistics systems, logistics strategy, production systems and technical service in advance and do not know the real technical state of machines and equipment

  • The proposed methodology will provide instructions to develop its own logistics strategy considering an application of progressive tools and the inclusion of new trends in information and communication technologies (ICTs) to a factory

Summary

Introduction

Logistics is becoming a very powerful engine for the success of industrial organizations in the global markets. Delivery and installation of complex production and assembly equipment can take several months, the opportunity to test logistics processes before and during installation can provide, in a dynamic global market, the necessary competitive advantage to the factories [2]. The problem with such implementations of innovative solutions is that factories do not prepare audits of logistics systems, logistics strategy, production systems and technical service in advance and do not know the real technical state of machines and equipment. It is necessary to deal with a complex logistics strategy including new trends in this area first, e.g. digitization, robotization, reconfigurable manufacturing systems, a lack of skilled workers, sustainability of production systems, green energy, and others [3], [4]
