The rapid development of new technologies has led to significant advances in many areas of industry. Innovative solutions are particularly needed in the field of intralogistics to increase efficiency and productivity. Intralogistics refers to the organization, control and implementation of the internal flow of materials, information and goods. This article highlights the latest trends and technologies in intralogistics as well as the advantages and challenges of dealing with new concepts.
EinigeVorteile einer modernen Intralogistik

Increasing customer satisfaction
Faster delivery times and higher product quality lead to more satisfied customers
Automation and robotics
Automated storage and transport systems
Automated storage and transport systems, such as automated rack storage and driverless transport systems (AGVs), are crucial for increasing efficiency in intralogistics. These systems enable goods and materials to be stored and retrieved quickly and precisely, which reduces throughput times and makes optimal use of storage capacity.
Robotics and Cobots
Robots and collaborative robots (cobots) are increasingly taking over tasks in intralogistics. They can be used in various areas, from picking and packing to transporting goods within the warehouse. Cobots work closely with human employees and take on repetitive or physically demanding tasks, while employees can concentrate on more complex activities.
Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
AGVs transport goods automatically through a warehouse or production facility. They improve material flow and reduce the need for manual transport.
AI systems and data optimization
IoT and sensor technology
The Internet of Things (IoT) and modern sensor technologies enable real-time monitoring and control of intralogistics processes. Sensors continuously collect data on the condition and position of goods and materials. This data is analyzed to optimize the material flow and to detect and resolve bottlenecks or disruptions at an early stage.
Artificial Intelligence and Big Data
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data are playing an increasingly important role in intralogistics. By analyzing large amounts of data, AI algorithms can recognize patterns and make predictions that help optimize warehousing and material flow. For example, AI systems can forecast demand and thus optimally adjust inventory levels.
Predictive Maintenance
By using sensors and data analysis, machines and systems can be continuously monitored to detect early signs of wear or malfunctions. This enables scheduled maintenance work and prevents unplanned downtime.
A look into the future
Drones
Drones are already being used for inventory and warehouse monitoring. They can quickly and accurately record inventory and transmit data in real time, which can significantly improve the efficiency of inventory management.
Augmented Reality (AR)
AR technologies can be used to provide warehouse workers with real-time information about the location and status of goods. AR glasses can display visual instructions and assist with picking and other warehouse processes.
3D printing
In the future, 3D printing could enable the rapid production of spare parts and individual components directly on site. This can reduce inventory costs and shorten response times for maintenance and repair work.
