Abstract: Mining industry is still the only supplier of mineral resources. Loading and transportation represents an integral part of the logistics system in each mining company. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article deals with a very current topic, which is humanitarian logistics. Although logistics is mostly used in commercial supply chains, it is also an important tool in disaster relief operations. [..] Read more

Abstract: Logistics is being used primarily on supply and retail chains, but also it is an essential tool in solving crisis situations. Applied logistics refers to a set of applied principles and methods of logistics to solve problems in the physical distribution and flow of goods and services in various areas of society. [..] Read more

Abstract: This paper is focused at increasing the efficiency of the supply and demand chain in a company engaged in the assembly and production of individual components for the automotive industry. Each company uses different tools to increase its competitiveness. [..] Read more

Abstract: Unit load AGVs are gradually becoming a common part of the internal logistics of industrial companies, especially from the automotive industry. Most often for handling standardized pallet containers. [..] Read more

Abstract: The Fourth Industrial Revolution means the universal digitization of all areas of the economy, including industry and logistics. New digital technologies enable real-time monitoring of production processes and obtain a high level of flexibility and productivity of cyber-physical systems (CPS). [..] Read more

Abstract: The article addresses the methodology of synergistic design of complex and advanced production systems as a basic approach to technological logistics. Generically, it further develops process of generalizing the author's 25 years of practical experience in designing and logistics optimization of technological processes and summarizes the results of more than 150 research and innovation projects, solved in the past. [..] Read more

Abstract: Manufacturing companies are under great pressure in the current highly competitive environment. High customer demands as well as pressure from the competition are forcing companies to streamline all their processes. [..] Read more

Abstract: The Lean Six Sigma methodology is a disciplined and logical approach that is used in industrial companies to improve various processes. The essence of improvement is to reduce variability, eliminate defects and eliminate waste, especially in manufacturing processes of which logistics activities are an integral part. [..] Read more

Abstract: The development of modern technologies under the designation Industry 4.0 or Industry 5.0 brings new possibilities in terms of logistics management and implementation in practice as well as independent autonomous systems. The use of innovative systems composed of physical models brings new opportunities in the teaching process. [..] Read more

Abstract: With the rising living standard, traffic in city centres has been becoming more congested and more and more cities have to adapt different measures and regulations of traffic in their centres. In order to be these measures effective, they should be data-based, and moreover the data must be likelihood.In the framework of international project Clevernet - Implementation of innovative sensor networks in cross - border regions, a network of traffic sensors was deployed in the centre of Žilina in mid-2021. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper discusses the problem of pallet identification accuracy in the context of material handling process automation. The need to ensure the correctness and efficiency of the internal transport process performance has caused the necessity for developing solutions that can correctly identify the pallet's position by an autonomous mobile robot (AMR). [..] Read more

Abstract: Increasing global competition drives the need to meet new customer demands, which leads to significant changes in modern industry. In this context, the rapid development of Industry 4.0 over recent years has been observed. [..] Read more

Abstract: Due to massive increase of using of different types of city transport e.g. cars, bicycles, segways, scooters, or electric scooters also increases the potential risk of collisions or critical situations. [..] Read more

Abstract: The job scheduling problem is one of the biggest optimization challenges for manufacturing companies. A properly performed planning can reduce both cost and production time. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper deals with the process planning structure of the complex magnesite processing, where capacity planning and production scheduling constitutes the meaningful and essential component of the product manufacturing control process within the whole its life-cycle. The result is a new advanced planning system proposal, which respond to a modern trends identified by European Commission for sustainable raw material processing area.. [..] Read more

Abstract: Individual car transport in large cities causes congestion, parking problems, and overall difficulty in urban logistics. There is a big problem finding a parking space in city centres, especially near offices and institutions. [..] Read more

Abstract: Logistics 4.0 as a concept that focuses on the increased integration of enterprises within open supply chains, the development of management support IT systems, logistic processes automation and control, generates changes in the logistic planning process. The article presents a method of logistics planning that allows the implementation of the planning process in a comprehensive view in accordance with the assumptions of Logistics 4.0. [..] Read more

Abstract: The platinum group metals (PGMs) palladium, platinum, and rhodium represent the key materials for automotive exhaust gas treatment. Since there are currently no adequate alternatives, the importance of these metals for the automotive industry is steadily rising. [..] Read more

Abstract: This article presents the study of the current state of art in the field of application of technology of an autonomous forklift for loading and unloading trucks. The ever increasing need for automatization and robotization of logistics processes in the automotive industry exceeds from inhouse manipulation to various areas of logistics. [..] Read more
