What is L4MS and what is the objective? This presentation is about the background of the project; The Marketplace and OPIL (Open Platform for Innovations in Logistics)

1. 1. L4MS – The Project
The Background

2. 2%… of European SME’s use advanced
manufacturing technologies?
Did you know that only…

3. Help SMEs &MID Caps in implementing
new, smarter intra-factory logistics
solutions.
Reduce the installation cost and time of
mobile robots by a factor of 10
Why L4MS?L4MS = Logistics for Manufacturing SMEs

4. How L4MS achieves this?
MARKETPLACE OPIL (IoT platform)

5. Marketplace
• www.l4ms.eu
• “One-stop-shop” for SMEs & Mid Caps
• Will provides access to funding, services &
technologies
• Enables co-creation of solutions for
automated logistics
• Common platform & matchmaker for
customers, Tech providers & ICT providers
MARKETPLACE

6. OPIL (Open Platform for Innovations
in Logistics)
• OPIL is an IoT (Internet of Things) platform that
has been developed in L4MS
• Enables communication between sensors,
AGVs planning software, MES, ERP, etc
• Has interface with state-of-the-art factory
simulation software
• Digital testing of logistic solutions and
production control strategies
• Drastically reduces overhead cost of AGV
(Automated Guided Vehicle) installation
OPIL (IoT platform)

7. L4MS solves problems …

8. Production Facility
PRODUCTIVITY
CHALLENGE
Almost 50% of operational costs go into logistics

9. FLEXIBILITY
CHALLENGE
Track & trace information continuously being updated
Changes in production tasks quickly adapted by OPIL
AGVs, portables and sensors can easily “talk” to each other
Production Facility

10. SKILLS &
COMPETENCE
Workforce get skills for dealing with modern logistics solutions
Production Facility

11. SAFETY
Automated logistics are much safer
Production Facility

12. INVESTMENT
CHALLENGES
OPIL and its integration with Visual Components simulations
reduce by 10 times implementation costs and 9 times
implementation and testing time.
