Smart Logistics: If the key to success is to eliminate redundancies and duplications and to overcome limits within the entire value chain, which in turn means that all available information is linked together and made universally accessible in order to determine the most efficient production process – then smart logistics is the key. Data-driven logistics create a model-based production process (a «digital twin») that uses the «invisible» spaces outside the construction site, which are made available in the form of data and «materialize» on the construction site. If smart logistics is the key to success on the construction site and is based on a smart city infrastructure, then this infrastructure is decisive for the success of a project. Join us on this journey of discovery for greater efficiency on the 5G construction site.
