Management of Tugger Trains in Industrial Production
USE CASE Management of Tugger Trains in Industrial Production AT A GLANCE • tracking and navigation of tugger trains • forecasts with machine learning • automated generation of instructions and warningsPROBLEM DEFINITION Especially in the automotive industry, a consi- derable number of components is delivered just-in-time. There is very low to no warehou- sing for these goods and they arrive at the production hall only shortly before they are needed at the assembly line. Therefore, even short delays can result in production stops and extensive costs. SOLUTION Including a tracking solution and a machine learning tool in the tugger train management contributes to the punctual arrival of compo- nents at production. Furthermore, it enables early warnings when delays and producti
