In the context of this term paper various robot solutions for the optimization of intra logistic processes shall be presented. The objective is to present the possibilities of optimization by robot systems for logistical applications as well as to show the potentials and challenges of the intelligent systems. In addition, a comparison is made between the five main markets - China, Japan, South Korea, USA and Germany - to provide an overview of the world's advanced robot technology and to illustrate possible differences.
The present work is divided into four chapters. The first chapter deals with the thematic introduction. In order to gain a sufficient understanding of intralogistics, the second chapter defines the terms intralogistics, robots, robotics and cyber-physical systems. The third chapter is devoted to the subject of "robotics". After the detailed description of the structure of a robot system in the first sub-chapter of chapter three the application areas for robots in intralogistics as well as their optimization possibilities are explained in the next subchapter. The following subchapter then compares both the positive and negative effects of robotic technologies. In order to gain a global overview of the differently advanced robot implementation, the five main markets are compared as well.
Finally, a practical insight into the use of intelligent robot systems is presented and a focus put on possible trends and requirements for intra logistics 4.0. The last chapter, then concludes the topic. This chapter offers a brief, forward-looking look into the future, supported by literature. In addition, the current state of the art in the robotics segment is briefly described here and a conclusion is then drawn.
