Examples of Dynamics in Logistics

• ? Circulation rescheduling
• ? Capacitive bottle necks
• ? Process distortions
• Prioritizations

• ? Reduction of product- development-cycles
• Customer-specific adaptation

? Demand fluctuations ? Specific desires of
customers ? postponement of due dates ? Reduction
of product life cycles

Stability, robustness and approximation of
dynamic large-scale networks - Theory and
applications in logistics networks
Motivation Planning and control of logistics
processes is more and more determined by an
increasing complexity of the structure and
dynamics of logistics networks. However, there is
a lack of methods and tools for a comprehensive
analysis and management of large-scale logistics
networks.

• Goal
• Development of capable approximation techniques
  for modelling of large-scale logistics networks
• Comprehensive analysis of stability and
  robustness for the whole network and selected
  components
• Derivation of principles for strategic and
  operational management of logistics processes

ISETEC II RoboCon
Fast deconsolidation and consolidation of
overseas containers using robotics and dynamic
load planning methods
Method
Motivation

• The processes of stuffing inhomogeneous goods and
  stripping parcels is extensive and represents the
  bottleneck of the execution of import and export
  processes
• Planning the load is hindered by the continuous
  arrival and provision of goods

• Development of a robot system for a fast
  deconsolidation of parcels out of overseas
  containers
• Development of a stuffer system and a dynamic
  load planning method for consolidating
  inhomogeneous goods in overseas containers

Objective Increasing process quality of
consolidation and deconsolidation by
automation Increasing productivity of
consolidation and deconsolidation by 5 (goods
per time unit)

Collaboration Bremen (BIBA) and Brazil (UFSC)

• Extensive history of cooperation, including the
  exchange of doctoral, postdoctoral students and
  senior researchers
• Since the 80s BIBA has conducted projects with
  Brazilian partners (e.g. Mechanical Engineering
  in UFSC) Prof. Hirsch
• Partnering in PRONEX (Programa de Núcleos de
  Excelência i.e. Excellency Groups Program) on
  Integrated Logistics Prof. Novaes and Prof.
  Scholz-Reiter
• Brazilian-German Collaborative Research
  Initiative on Manufacturing Technology
  (BRAGECRIM)
• Planning of further collaborations in basic and
  applied research

BIBA Projects within BRAGECRIM

• LogGlobal - Improving Global Supply Chains
• Prof. Scholz-Reiter
• Prof. Novaes and Prof. Luna UFSC, Prof. Fontes
  Lima Jr. UNICAMP, Prof. Albertin UFC
• LogGlobal will address the question as to which
  concepts, technologies and processes for
  integrating production / logistics planning and
  execution processes would better support both the
  performance of organisations and global supply
  chains.
• SustainLog - Sustainable Logistics Systems
  Supporting Collaborative Networks
• Prof. Thoben
• Prof. Rabelo UFSC, Prof. Luna UFSC, Prof.
  Albertin UFC
• SustainLog will support SMEs networks in the
  execution of logistics services by means of an
  ICT and knowledge management strategies.
