“Milkrun 4.0” for Smart Manufacturing

The aim of this paper is to focus on the advanced concept of in-plant logistics system known as Milkrun 4.0. This system will obtain data from the warehouse, pickup or delivery stations, and logistics employees. Then the data will be updated to the production planning and control system, which will illustrate material flow all over the production plant. Based on the material flow, employees responsible for production logistics and material handling will get directions to collaborate with manufacturing stations and assembly lines.
