Real-Time Data Sharing in Production Logistics: Exploring Use Cases by an Industrial Study

Production logistics systems consist often of a number of low value-added activities combined with a high degree of manual work. Therefore, increasing effectivity and responsiveness has always been a target for production logistics systems. Sharing data in real-time may have a considerable potential to increase effectivity and responsiveness. The first step to realise real-time data sharing is to have a clear understanding of current state of PL systems and their requirements. This work is performed an ‘as-is’ situation analysis of an industrial case aiming at identifying which areas and applications would benefit most from real-time data sharing. The findings take a step closer to have a better understanding of CPS and Industry 4.0.
