Intralogistics encompasses the organization, control, and optimization of all material, goods, and information flows within a company or facility. It ensures that goods are made available at the right place and at the right time and that internal logistics processes run efficiently.

Intralogistics includes, among other things, goods receipt, warehousing, order picking, production, conveyor technology, and goods shipment. Modern intralogistics utilizes automated conveyor systems, warehouse management systems, autonomous transport systems, as well as sensor technology and AI to accelerate processes and increase transparency. Reliable master data capture forms the foundation for a cost-effective and error-free material flow.

Practical example:

In a manufacturing facility, conveyor systems and autonomous vehicles automatically transport materials between the receiving area, the warehouse, and production, while all movements are digitally documented and controlled.
