Abstract
The widespread adoption of Physical Internet (PI) technologies has promoted data and information sharing, real-time communication, and networking in the industry, which transforming the operations are managed and performed in many fields such as manufacturing. For example, the production operations and intralogistics operations in a shop floor are inherently coupled and entangled by physical flow (raw materials, components, sub-assemblies, or work-in-progresses). In traditional management mode, the production and intralogistics processes are managed separately by different departments without considering global benefits because the information cannot be timely collected and shared among the department to make informed decisions. Nowadays, advanced Industry 4.0 technologies such as Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT), digital twin, and cloud computing are gradually adopted by manufacturers to upgrade their factories. The sheer amount of data are real-timely collected, transmitted, and analyzed so that the information barriers among different department of a single factory are removed. Therefore, it is possible to manage the production and intralogistics processes in a synchronized manner by leveraging the strengths of real-time data, to improve the overall production efficiency and resource utilization.
