DigiLog

DigiLog builds upon three existing testbeds that are interconnected via a digital model, simulating a typical production logistics working environment. The testbed allow to test and experiment with different configuration of components (different types of transport vehicles, e.g. forklift to AGV), level of manual and automised handling of goods and to interconnect these (using IoT) components. It will allow investigation of different forms of HMI and HRI interaction.

Scope and objective

The combination of a physical and a virtual test bed makes it possible to export and import collected data from actuators and sensors in both environments and thereby identify possible improvements at process (information and material flow), organisational (layouts and operational issues) levels as well as on how digitalisation technologies can support the human in executing the daily task. It will support a stepwise transition towards a digitised system, in which companies and users can find the right level of automation and to select the right technology for their logistics related problems leading to a more sustainable production. The digital twin opens for experimenting with new ways of processing, analysing and using the collected data (both simulation model & physical lab) for improved planning, optimisation of running processes and for maintenance purpose.
