Glossar

Transportation technology refers to the technical systems, equipment, and processes used to move, handle, and deliver goods within logistics processes. It forms the basis for an efficient and reliable flow of materials.

Transportation technology includes, for example, conveyor systems, lifting equipment, industrial trucks, automated transport systems, and sorting technology. In modern logistics centers, transportation technology is increasingly being combined with sensor technology, control systems, and automated solutions to move goods quickly, safely, and in accordance with demand. Integration with DWS, WMS, and TMS systems enables transparent control and optimization of logistics processes.

Practical example:
In an automated distribution center, conveyor systems transport packages between the measurement, sorting, and shipping areas, ensuring a continuous flow of materials.
