ABSTRACT

The volatile market and individualised needs have significantly changed traditional lean production system to the enhanced smart production system. As one of the key parts in production system, intralogistics faces the main problem to properly evaluate the current situation, which is one reason for carrying out an improvement strategy and realising intelligent intralogistics. This article studies a method to develop an assessment tool for intralogistics considering Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) enabling technologies in order to analyse the status quo. Firstly, the key performance indicators of resource efficiency and scope of intralogistics are generated via literature review and empiricism. Secondly, the evaluation aspects are structured and corresponding criteria are identified by considering CPPS enabling technology. Then, the resource efficiency level is defined and the general evaluation results are modelled. A case study based on industrial companies is used to validate the feasibility of the approach. The derived results are presented, discussed and conclusions drawn.
