A data-driven approach in production logistics is adopted as a response to challenges such as low visibility and system rigidity. One important step for such a transition is to identify the enabling technologies from a value-creating perspective. The existing corpus of literature has discussed the benefits and applications of smart technologies in overall manufacturing or logistics. However, there is limited discussion specifically on a production logistics level, from a systematic perspective. This paper addresses two issues in this respect by conducting a systematic literature review and analyzing 142 articles. First, it covers the gap in literature concerning mapping the application of these smart technologies to specific production logistic activities. Ten groups of technologies were identified and production logistics activities divided into three major categories. A quantitative share assessment of the technologies in production logistics activities was carried out. Second, th...

Digital Twin-Based Services for Smart Production Logistics
2021 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC), 2021
essential components for achieving the vision of Smart Production Logistics (SPL). SPL includes applying digital technologies for planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient flow of materials or information, and achieving active perception, response, and autonomous decision-making in real-time (Ding et al. 2020; Liu et al. 2020). Research contends that efforts targeting IIoT and DTs separately may be insufficient for realizing the vision of SPL. Instead, manufacturing companies must develop DT-based services providing holistic comprehension including both real-time location and optimization (Qi and Tao 2019). DT-based services refer to the component of DTs using multiple data, resources, and distributed computing, and offering advanced, intuitive, and ubiquitous understanding for people or devices (Longo et al. 2019). The literature presents a limited number of studies applying IIoT and achieving DT-based services in SPL (Cimino et al. 2019). Developing a framework applying IIoT and DT-based services in SPL is necessary for targeting the high operational dynamics, intensive human involvement, and uncertain events on the factory floor common in the execution of SPL (Guo et al. 2021). Failing to combine IIoT and DT-based services, manufacturing companies remain exposed to ill-conceived solutions, and stand at the threshold of achieving the full potential of real-time location and optimization in SPL. Addressing this problem, the purpose of this study is to analyze the combined use of DT-based services and IIoT in SPL. The study proposes a framework specifying DT-based services including IIoT for achieving the real-time location and optimization of material handling. We draw results from an SPL demonstrator based on a case at an automotive manufacturer. The results suggest that DT-based services including IIoT enhance the execution of material handling and lead to improvements of delivery, makespan, and distance. This study provides critical insight for managers responsible for improving the delivery of materials and information inside a factory. The remainder of this study is organized as follows. Section 2 describes related works. Section 3 proposes a DT-based framework for SPL. Section 4 presents the results of a case applying IIoT and achieving DT-based services. Section 5 discusses the implications of this study. Section 6 concludes and suggests future research.

Industry 4.0, digitization, and Internet of Things enable companies to react quickly and flexibly to market changes. The objective is the production of customized products at the cost of a mass-produced product. The widespread entry of cyber-physical systems enables a networking of all entities. The introduction of cyber-physical systems in production and logistic systems dissolves existing rigid structures and as a result versatile cyber-physical production systems occur. To support the flexibility of the cyber-physical production systems, the production supply needs to be adapted. For this reason, this paper proposes a novel universal production supply concept. This concept introduces a decentralized controlled supply. It is executed by several cyber-physical system entities, which are represented by software agents. These agents negotiate autonomously with each other. The novel concept was implemented in a research lab and evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively. For the quant...

A Solution for Information Management in Logistics Operations of Modern Manufacturing Chains
Procedia CIRP, 2014
One dominant feature of the modern manufacturing chains is the movement of goods. Manufacturing companies would remain an unprofitable investment if the supplies/logistics of raw materials, semi-finished products or final goods are not handled in an effective way. Both levels of a modern manufacturing chain-actual production and logistics-are characterized by continuous data creation at a much faster rate than they can be meaningfully analyzed and acted upon manually. Often, instant and reliable decisions need to be taken based on huge, previously inconceivable amounts of heterogeneous, contradictory or incomplete data. The paper will highlight aspects of information flows related to business process data visibility and observability in modern manufacturing networks. An information management platform developed in the framework of the EU FP7 project ADVANCE will be presented.
A Framework for Smart Production-Logistics Systems Based on CPS and Industrial IoT
IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, 2018
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has received increasing attention from both academia and industry. However, several challenges including excessively long waiting time and a serious waste of energy still exist in the IIoT-based integration between production and logistics in job shops. To address these challenges, a framework depicting the mechanism and methodology of smart production-logistics systems is proposed to implement intelligent modeling of key manufacturing resources and investigate self-organizing configuration mechanisms. A data-driven model based on analytical target cascading is developed to implement the self-organizing configuration. A case study based on a Chinese engine manufacturer is presented to validate the feasibility and evaluate the performance of the proposed framework and the developed method. The results show that the manufacturing time and the energy consumption are reduced and the computing time is reasonable. The presented work potentially enables manufacturers to deploy IIoT-based applications and improve the efficiency of production-logistics systems.
