Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway

This presentation is about the Logistics 4.0 Laboratory (LOG4.0 Lab) of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU – Norway). The Logistics 4.0 lab at NTNU is Norway’s first logistics laboratory that merges digital technologies with traditional production and logistics systems, enabling researchers, practitioners, engineers, pioneers, students, and other enthusiasts to come together and collaborate on common ground.
We show the on-going applied researches on innovative intralogistics and material handling, studying of the impact of new technologies on logistics systems, creating new knowledge on design and management of future logistics systems. The collaborations with companies developing innovative solutions and with the final users is driving the development of the activities in the laboratory. Some examples of advanced solutions available in the LOG4.0 Lab are: Indoor Positioning Systems, Autonomous Mobile Robots and Autonomous Wheels, AR and VR for Logistics, Motion Capture Systems, Assistive Technologies for Logistics Operators, Smart Workstations, 3D mapping for Layout.
