Improving Resource Management of Large Logistics Facilities

Resulting from an increase of shipment quantities many logistics facilities such as terminals, distribution centers, or production sites reached the limit of their performance ability and thus become a bottleneck in supply-chains. In order to strengthen the productivity of logistic facilities scientific methods can be applied in order to increase the capacity utilization. Referring to the operator's requirements, the aim of the project “Efficiency in Logistics Facilities” is to develop prototypical software so-called “EcoSiteManager ESM”. The ESM will be a modular software tool for the control of large logistics facilities or factory sites.
