The guideline descripes the introduction of control center for logistics in companies that can be made step by step. So it can be started with the realization of the first basic functionalities (e.g. pure visualization of the current system state). These functionalities can be extended successively by more planning and control functions (metrics, resource monitoring, etc.), until a complete system is implemented. Currently purely passive approaches of monitoring and performance measurement systems are used and have only informative character by the pure representation of the current operating situation. The control center goes beyond this approach. This guideline is for the designing, handling and optimizing the control center functionality to operators, planners and suppliers of intralogistics systems.
