Automation of data and information
Artificial intelligence is now also an indispensable part of intralogistics. It helps make processes simpler, faster and more sustainable. Automated systems combined with artificial intelligence optimise processes and enable weaknesses to be detected. Fb Industry Automation also heavily relies on these technologies, such as when optimising the choice of storage location or increasing the throughput.
Customised, automated shelving systems
