robotics in logistics

Due to the growing application of robotic systems in logistic companies, the demand of qualified professionals is growing. The potentials of individualized robotic solutions are currently not exploited by small and medium enterprises. Therefore a target group specific further education for robotics in logistics has been developed. The modular design ensures the close connection of the education modules to the core work processes of the industry sector. The “Lessons Learned” summarize important insights from the educational scientific examinations in logistic companies as well as from the execution of the education modules.

To develop solutions tailored to the challenges of logistics, it is necessary to realize the current state of the market as well as market trends. For this reason, BIBA has been conducting the RoboScan study series since 2007. It determines the status quo of applying robotics to logistics and instantly works out one specific area in greater detail. RoboScan’14 is now concerned with “man-machine interaction”. Some results of the study are presented in this article.
