Modelling of Requirements and Technical Enablers as Precondition for the Configuration of the Infrastructure of Autonomously Controlled Logistic Processes

Todays companies face increasing complexity and dynamics in their processes, which lead to problems for centralized decision making in logistic process control. Thus, autonomously controlled logistic processes are proposed to overcome the induced negative effects. Logistic objects employ additional infrastructure components providing decision making and execution abilities to solve process control tasks on their own. However, the infrastructure configuration task is rarely addressed in literature. This paper sketches a concept for the collection and modelling of requirements and infrastructure components of autonomous logistic processes. It presents application requirements and infrastructure components in textual form organized in a combined tabular requirements catalogue.
