What motivated you to enroll at the Center Enterprise Resource Planning and the Center Connected Industry of the Smart Logistics Cluster? And why did you choose two centers?
We enrolled in two centers, because we are currently involved in two projects:
Comarch is collaborating with other ERP and technology providers on RTLS 3.0. RTLS stands for Realtime Location System and is a demonstrator for the visualization of Industrie 4.0 potential. A motion-based, automated feedback of the process steps is achieved by way of interlinking Comarch ERP with a realtime localization system. Errors can now be prevented and the percentage of value-creating activity is increased.
Our second project, Future Logistics, is currently in the start-up phase. Among other issues, it deals with the topic of consistent parts tracking and cargo carriers along the value creation chain. The aim here is to utilize innovative Comarch IoT technologies like Bluetooth Beacons to find a more affordable alternative or supplement option for conventional asset tracking systems. Solutions like these come to bear, where workpieces or tools don’t have to be localized to the exact centimeter and a more general position information within broader defined zones of the factory floor or on means of transport will suffice. Comarch solutions are therefore essentially building blocks of an agile, networked logistics system. Manufacturers will be able to use this system to track the location of supply parts on their way to the production facility. That way, delayed deliveries can be rescheduled within the production cycle to optimize the overall process flow.
The collaborative effort with our centers also represents speed and fast implementation. Thinking back to the beginning of this year, what has been your highlight in this cooperation?
What advantages do you see in this cooperation in the medium and long term?
What do your customers think about your enrollment on RWTH Aachen Campus?
What would be your advice for companies like your own, that are still hesitant about enrollment?
