The futuristic real-time transport control system
Optimization of Your Internal Transports
and Increase in Capacity Utilisation
360° Process Efficiency in Transport for Own Account with Real-Time Tracking and Navigation
ICS eTLS® is an innovative solution for the integrated optimization of in-plant transport that shows the entire own account transport real-time at your control desk. The efficient use of transport is guaranteed by dynamic transport control and automatic real-time position identification (RTLS).
Depending on the technical warehouse equipment, ICS eTLS® does not only focus on vehicle and forklift processes but also on tugger trains, lift trucks, and picking trolleys. Principally, every manually or automatically controlled means of transport as well as every supply and disposal process that is used on your factory site can be planned, controlled, and monitored by this pioneering real-time transport control system.
You can render in-house transport sustainable, use resources efficiently, reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO), and establish processes for Industry 4.0!
Real-Time Orientation and Route optimization
This system supports self-learning algorithms in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and takes all transport requirements of the individual working areas into account. Transport orders and their priorities will be optimized dynamically in an order pool, real-time and based on the availability and position of means of transport, also taking into account the allocated areas, the specified key performance indicators (KPIs), and the resource properties.
Thanks to a new, disruptive location technology, real-time position identification of transport units and transport means is guaranteed, indoor and outdoor – without having to access GPS data.
The automatic calculation of transport orders reduces both search time as well as deadheads to a minimum. Based on the actual utilization, KPIs are synchronized and the defined scaling effects are initiated.
ICS eTLS® – Functional Scope
- Central control station, transport order pool and optimized means of transport poo
