TECHNOLOGY will present LFS.timesquare, a smart Logistics Control Tower that can integrate all logistics data from the past (BI), present (Control) and future (Predictive). Users can make decisions for future logistics processes based on this information. For example, you can plan and optimize bin assignment in the warehouse in advance with market basket analyses and with route and picking routes. LFS.timesquare clearly shows that control desk systems are increasingly developing into forward-thinking systems that learn from past experience and support workers with proactive suggestions. EPG is already integrating artificial intelligence (AI) components into LFS.timesquare. Smart order forecasting is one 26 | December 2018 example. Smart forecasting uses past logistics data and external data (e.g. weather forecasts) to make accurate forecasts for future orders. Such forecasting is possible thanks to the close technical integration of LFS. timesquare with IBM’s Watson AI software. Guided tour of the exhibition stand At LogiMAT, EPG offers guided tours of the exhibition stand across the different sections with solutions and innovations in the field of intralogistics. These include LFS.dock for intelligent dock management, which provides accurate planning, control and optimization of incoming and outgoing freight terminal traffic. EPG will also have a resource management module
