PSI Logistics and Center Connected Industry Realise IoT Applications

30.01.2017

PSI software controls research structure at the RWTH Aachen campus

PSI Logistics GmbH, a member of the Smart Logistics Cluster at the RWTH Aachen Campus, is cooperating with the Center Connected Industry with the implementation of a demonstrator for applications for the In-ternet of Things (IoT). The solution will be presented in February at the 15th Hamburg Logistics Conference.

The goal of the cooperation with the cross-sector Community within the Center Connected Industry is “to bring Industry 4.0 to life in logistics”, explains Dr. Giovanni Prestifilippo, Managing Director of PSI Logistics. In the “Smart Parcel” project at the Center, PSI software is supporting a showcase for applications of the Internet of Things under live conditions in the associated “Demonstration Factory”. To accomplish this, modules of the PSItms transport management system communicate with IoT beacons. A prototype live system will be presented on the 15th and 16th of February in the framework of the Hamburg Logistics Conference with the focus on bringing Industry 4.0 to life. The data flow starts with decentralised sensor elements that forward the real-time data of transportation goods and means to the PSItms application. The relevant information is provided directly at the location of the action by mobile apps, so as to optimise transportation processes and intra-logistical material flows.

The Center Connected Industry – Next Level Information Logistics converts new technologies and possibilities of the Internet of Things directly into productive use by means of early evaluation and testing. The infrastructure of the Center with the 5G ApplicationLab and the associated Demonstration Factory for Industry 4.0 offers a real production environment for the development and immediate, onsite evaluation of new combinations of technologies and solutions in practice-like applications.

At the RWTH Aachen Campus, experts have been conducting research on defined, relevant subjects since 2009. The research areas are represented by clusters that are broken down into centres in which the interdisciplinary research teams and industry consortia cooperate on special future questions with visionary approaches to solutions.
