Demands on logistics systems are continuously increasing, as the volume in many areas will increase in the future. For example, the volume of parcels is expected to increase in the future, making parcel sorting centers and their infrastructure increasingly important. Likewise, the number of air passengers per year is increasing, making baggage handling at airports more and more important. These are just two examples that illustrate the great importance of intralogistics in daily life. Accordingly, the smooth running and operation of such systems is crucial for efficiency, speed, and ultimately customer satisfaction.
A remedy for this is i4scada (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisiton), which acts as a central interface between systems and their operators. This provides maintenance staff with rapid support for fault clearance and analysis of any problems that arise. Aggregated information, system statuses and detailed information on individual system components are displayed in real time and on all end devices.
