Predicting the future

In recent years, the age of digital networking has gradually made its way into industrial processes. Recently popularized terms such as Industry 4.0 and Advanced Manufacturing refer to the end-to-end digitalization of intralogistics and production. The goal is the optimization of the entire value chain. Simply put, Industry 4.0 technologies open the door to creating a digital image of reality (a “digital shadow”) that can be used as a basis for optimizing physical processes.
Swisslog’s Smart Logistics attempt relies on the analysis of a wealth of historical and future forecasted data. Digital shadows ensure that warehouse processes run at optimal performance even under constantly changing conditions.
