4flow: TORO - Transport Optimized Release Orders

With TORO as an SAP add-on, 4flow offers a cloud-based software solution for integrating transport-relevant factors into planning runs. Transport rates, capacity restrictions, route information or material master data are the topics. By using and integrating 4flow TORO into material requirements planning, the transport utilization of delivery call-offs can be increased and overall logistics costs can be minimized, for example by consolidating call-offs and saving on transports. According to the provider, cost savings of 3% across the entire network and up to 30% on selected transport routes are possible.

Linde Material Handling: Linde Logistic Train Controller

The LLTC is a cloud-based tugger train control system that enables integration into digitally controlled processes. Linde Material Handling's cloud-based tugger train control system, the Linde Logistic Train Controller, creates an interface between ERP/WMS systems and tugger train logistics. The control system receives all relevant information on material transportation from the ERP or WMS system and can be accessed from any browser-compatible device without installation. The system generates all transport orders and displays them on a large touch display in the cockpit. In addition, the tugger trains, trailers, stops, routes and reports are configured in the software. This enables the optimum route to be calculated and new orders are immediately taken into account in the route. Simple one-to-one transports are grouped and assigned to route trains based on attributes and priorities. Although simple transportation is standard in most systems (ERP/WMS), they are often unable to map the complexity of tugger trains.
