Fleet control in real time
The digital twin is alive
Digital maps that record and display the locations of objects and areas via a digital twin provide transparency in warehouses and production halls - in real time.
This solution becomes economically interesting if the necessary data is collected automatically and "incidentally", so to speak. One of the questions addressed by the completed Aribic research project was how such an automated process for status and data collection could be implemented. The data was collected via a sensor set-up in the industrial trucks that "simulated" the sensors that will be integrated in the future. This data was combined into a digital representation of the environment, transferred to the cloud and enriched with semantic information. There, the stock can be compared with the warehouse management system. The enriched map provides live information about the warehouse; the vehicles are constantly moving and the map is updated in real time.
