Conventional logistics systems are not designed for such challenges. Therefore, transportation of small batch sizes brings along high costs. Even the practiced accumulation of small batch sizes to larger units does not address the challenge completely because of additional storage costs. Besides that, the time factor becomes more and more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FlowPro is going to research and test \u201cbatch size one\u201d micrologistics realized via flexible AI-based use of decentralized autonomous ground- and air-carriers. The goal is to develop a prototype of a self-optimizing, company-universal, decentralized logistics networks that unite such carriers collaboratively. Special attention will be paid to the integration of an ERP system and end-to-end security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ITS Researh Group (FGVT) of the Saarland University of Applied Sciences \u2013 htw saar is responsible for designing a telecommunication architecture based on 5G-technology and direct communication between the carrier components (drones, industrial trucks, logistical infrastructure) via C-V2X (cellular Vehicle-to-Everything) technology. Besides prototyping of technical systems (especially for drones), FGVT is taking part in conceptualisation of business models and calculating the impact of the developed logistics solutions on CO2-emissions. FGVT also leads the overall system integration, evaluation, and demonstration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact person:<br>Jonas Vogt, M.Sc.<br>Jonas.vogt@htwsaar.de<br>+49 681 5867-673<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 1 , 2020 FlowPro is a new project supported by German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (research initiative mFUND), launched on July 1, 2020.
