Modeling the Infrastructure of Autonomous Logistic Control Systems

摘要

Autonomous control has been approved as a suitable concept to increase the flexibility and robustness of logistic systems by enabling decentralized decision making and execution at the system elements. Thereto, a control system requires additional infrastructure components. This paper introduces a qualitative model of terms and drivers being relevant to configure the infrastructure of autonomous logistic control systems in a specific scenario. It discusses the terms, logistic system, infrastructure, configuration, and autonomous control in context of control systems for production logistics.
