Research

The IFL consists of several research groups which collaborate interdisciplinarily in different research projects. An additional team at the Research Center for Information Technology (FZI) is also supervised by Prof. Furmans and deals with questions in logisitics.

Logistics Systems	Material Handling Technology
The Research Group Logistics Systems deals with the design and control of logistics systems. It develops methods for the optimization, modeling and evaluation of logistics processes as well as strategies for control. More	The development and design of new intralogistic conveying technology is the main research interest of the group material handling technology. More
Robotics and Interactive Systems	FLX - Remote Handling and Logistics under Extreme Environments
In order to increase the flexibility in intralogistics, the the group robotics and interactive systems is working on the development of so called Plug&Play materials-handling technology. More	The traditional competencies at the IFL in the fields of materials handling and logistics systems have been used for several years in the field of maintenance of fusion test facilities and power plants.
