Objective

The use of automation plays a key role in ensuring the quality and efficiency of internal logistics. The automation market in logistics is expected to multiply between 2025 and 2029. In this course, you will learn to understand the application areas of technologies used in internal logistics automation and to select the most suitable technologies for specific purposes with justified reasoning. You will learn to compare different solution models using simulation and understand which internal logistics processes are best suited for automation.

Knowledge and understanding:
You can independently search for reliable materials for a given task. You are familiar with the most common technologies used in internal logistics automation and their applications.

Engineering practice:
You can design an automation system for the needs of internal logistics and use simulation programs to assist in system design and efficiency analysis.

Communication and team-working:
You can create a concise presentation of your design work and collaborate effectively as a team member.

Content

In this course you will learn:
- The basics of technologies used in intralogistics automation.
- The fundamentals of sizing an automated warehouse.
- The basics of simulation
