LOVIS - Production Logistics Visibility

Research Project, 2019 – 2022

Purpose and goal
Visibility within Production Logistics is a key instrument for managing the dynamics in future industrial settings, for resource efficiency, sustainability and competitiveness. External and internal information need to be transparent to development, planning and control. The project will develop and demonstrate innovative solutions for Logistics Visibility and disseminate these in seminars, digital media and education.

Expected results and effects
LOVIS will address the challenge of production logistics visibility by exploring and demonstrating two logistics visibility applications; (1) an intrasite real-time visualisation system for material management including dynamic synchronisation, takt and resource planning, and (2) a supply visibility system for dynamic status and prediction of supply network status. The results from these two studies will be synthesised into a framework for integrated Production Logistics Visibility.
