Project objectives
The aim was to digitally map and analyse the following logistics aspects:
- Lorry journeys and manoeuvring movements in the yard area
- Utilisation of the reloading ramps
- Utilisation and capacity limits of intermediate landfills (sectors)
- Identification of logistical bottlenecks and potential collisions
The logistics planning was programmed based on rules and processed to identify optimisation potential. The visualisation also served as a training basis for employees at the logistics centre.
Focal points
- Simulation with 13 yard vehicles and 5 train compositions
- Analysis of container movements, parking options and shunting movements
Results
- Error detection
- Concrete optimisation proposals
- Video documentation
Technical data
- Approx. 800 individual manoeuvres simulated
Special features
- First visual logistics simulation of RailCare
- Simulation services with programmed logics
Our solution
- Logistics simulations with dProb
Video
Simulation of the logistics processes at railCare (Coop)
The video shows all loading and unloading operations carried out during an entire logistics day at railCare (Coop). Due to the large area where goods are temporarily stored at times, the processes in the various zones were recorded separately.
The movements were documented in four individual videos and then combined into a single comprehensive video to provide an overall view of the logistics processes.
