The meaning of internal material logistics: the basis for Industry 4.0 that nobody talks about.

The focus of the last few years was mainly on the optimization of production processes which are mirroring the status quo of technology. In addition to this we can see a cross linking and fusion of information and communication technology better known as Industry 4.0 and its opportunities.

If we talk about Industry 4.0, besides looking at its opportunities, we need to address the unused potential in internal materials management. Information about the status quo of the systems and their cross linking is only part of the story. In order for Industry 4.0 to work it is essential to optimize materials logistic which is its true strength.

The supply and disposal processes of manufacturing raw materials respectively semi-finished goods, the subsequent allocation for distribution ( warehousing and timely order picking) of the goods still hold enormous potential and need optimized logistic systems. According to scientific research the average costs are about 16%. A good reason to end the so often neglected existence of internal materials logistics.
