We describe a high-density storage system for physical goods in which identical conveyor
modules can be plugged together to store and retrieve unit-loads or small containers …

This chapter outlines the promise of blockchain for the construction industry. Blockchain is
an opportunity to create novel forms of economic coordination toward better collaboration …

The aim of the innovative Physical Internet (PI) paradigm-shifting initiative is to reverse the
unsustainability situation existing in current logistic systems. In the Physical Internet, the …

The fourth industrial revolution aims to transform production systems. In this work, Logical
Time which is a control principle for distributed systems is transferred to material handling …

This chapter proposes how blockchain technologies can act as the foundation for Integrated
Project Delivery 4.0 (IPD 4.0). Recent attempts such as Lean Integrated Project Delivery …

To increase flexibility in intralogistics, decentralized controlled material handling systems
have been developed. We investigate the suitability of one of these systems, the …

We present a decentralized sequencing algorithm applicable to modular high (est)-density
conveyor systems that enables items to enter the system randomly from multiple input points …

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) form a large and important part of logistic systems to
improve productivity and reduce costs. When multiple AGVs are running in limited and …

This chapter describes future technologies in Intralogistics and Material Handling. Starting
from a description of today's material handling systems (including two case studies) and an …
