Intralogistics refers to the management and optimization of internal logistics processes within an organization, such as the movement, storage, and retrieval of goods, materials, and information. It encompasses a range of activities within a company's facilities, including warehouses, distribution centers, and production facilities. Intralogistics aims to streamline and enhance these internal processes to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase overall productivity.
Firecell has recently published a whitepaper looking at digital transformation of warehouses, available here. Quoting from the paper:
In this white paper we discussed how intralogistics has begun playing an important role in warehouses for the management and optimization of internal logistical processes related to the movement, storage, and retrieval of goods, materials, and information.
Private 5G has the capability to not just provide higher data rates with lower latency and jitter, but can also help with reliable connectivity, seamless availability over the desired geographical area, and the ability to support large numbers of devices. The real-world deployment examples also highlighted how Private 5G is enabling smart solutions for picking using Augmented Reality, inventory counting using 5G-powered drones, improvement in automated warehouse’s operation efficiency, solving operational problems related to network delays, better securing the order processing ability during peak periods of sales, etc.
By implementing automation in intralogistics, organizations can achieve benefits such as increased efficiency, reduced labor costs, improved accuracy, and enhanced overall competitiveness in the market. However, it’s essential to carefully plan and integrate automation solutions to align with the specific needs and workflows of the organization.
This is just the beginning with future improvements planned to take advantage of combining Intralogistics and Private 5G with other evolving technologies including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Extended Reality (XR), and Metaverse.
With all the advancements in Private 5G Networks technology, many solution providers like Firecell are able to provide a 5G Network-in-a- Box solution that can be deployed and be operational within days in a warehouse. The cost of coverage, based on the area, is similar to an enterprise Wi-Fi solution but with the additional advantage of seamless connectivity with no connection drops.
The white paper is available here.
