Intralogistic Systems

Scope

The Intralogistic Systems Product Group is a horizontal Group within FEM. It does address single materials handling product and complete turnkey systems. It focuses on automation, control and IT, and integration of several types of materials handling equipment into one system.
The Intralogistic Systems Product Group is open to system integrators and suppliers of complete systems (companies signing turnkey contracts). The Group will invite FEM suppliers of individual materials handling products to cooperate on interfaces between their equipment and complete systems.

Objectives

Provide an international forum to elaborate on technical and business matters
Develop reliable market transparency on the basis of statistical data received from the participants
Develop technical rules and guidelines at a European level
Define interface and communication standards
Define consistent technical language

Work in progress

Fundamental Guidelines for Performance “Reliability – Availability – Maintainability (RAM)”.
Guidelines & Technical Recommendations: the Product Group regularly updates existing texts and drafts new guidelines & recommendations relating to the design and use of equipment.
Statistics: the FEM Intralogistic Systems Product Group carries out a yearly exercise to gather statistics for “Order Intake Intralogistic Systems - OIIS” and international statistics for S/R-Machines. The aim of the OIIS statistics is to register certain markets taking into account the place of installation of the Intralogistic System.
The statistics started in 2005, and the Product Group makes available a factsheet presenting an indexed overview of the results and evolutions.
Energy & Environment: the Product Group has been involved in a study on the energy & environmental impacts of intralogistic systems. This study is in German and is available for free download in two parts : Part 1 and Part 2.
