Production Logistics. Smart Planning with the Digital Twin

Plan and optimize assembly and logistics processes in one integrated software solution. Material provisioning, material flow, heatmaps, and 3D visualization highlight bottlenecks, reduce travel distances, and support data-driven decisions.

Modern Production Planning Requires Integrated Solutions

With ipolog, you plan, visualize, and simulate your production and logistics processes in one continuous tool. From the initial layout concept to production ramp-up, you maintain full transparency. Data from BOMs, production orders, and layouts are merged into a central data model. This digital planning approach enables all stakeholders to see dependencies, validate changes, and systematically identify optimization potential.
ipolog seamlessly integrates assembly and logistics into one coherent production planning process.

Common Challenges in Daily Planning

Production environments are growing increasingly complex. Variant diversity, tight timelines, and rising demands collide with outdated planning methods. A lack of transparency, isolated data sources, and manual coordination result in bottlenecks, increased costs, and delayed decisions. Efficient material flow planning today requires more: connected systems, centralized data models, and clear decision logic.

Changes in one area remain invisible to others
Data scattered across spreadsheets, files, and disconnected tools
Bottlenecks and overloads are identified too late
No common data foundation for communication and decision-making

Your Benefits with ipolog

One Shared Data Model

All planning domains access the same consistent information. Changes are traceable across the system.

Transparency Across All Impacts

Adjustments to material flow, provisioning, or assembly are instantly visible. Conflicts and constraints are identified early and can be prevented.

Fast, Data-Driven Evaluation

Planning outcomes can be analyzed using calculated KPIs – enabling structured comparisons and continuous improvements.

3D Simulation Within the Planning Process

Processes are visually validated and adjusted as needed. The 3D view fosters shared understanding and reduces errors.

Plan with software that intelligently connects production and logistics.

“We chose ipolog because the software offers a compelling solution for model mix evaluation and for visualizing intralogistics systems. It provides excellent support in concept development …”

General FAQs about ipolog

What is ipolog and what is it used for?

ipolog is a specialized software for planning and optimizing assembly and logistics processes. It covers material provisioning, material flow, and assembly planning – in 2D and 3D, data-driven and collaborative.

What data is required for planning with ipolog?

ipolog requires layout data, BOMs, provisioning strategies, takt times, and transport processes. The software integrates these inputs into a central model and visualizes their impact on space and flow.

Who is ipolog designed for?

ipolog is built for professionals in material flow, assembly, logistics, and production planning – especially in complex manufacturing environments with high variant diversity.

How does ipolog differ from Excel, PowerPoint, or basic 3D tools?

Unlike traditional tools, ipolog uses a consistent data structure with built-in simulation. It validates not just how processes look, but whether they work – visually, quantitatively, and collaboratively.

Can ipolog be integrated into existing systems?

Yes. ipolog integrates with existing CAD and ERP systems. This ensures bi-directional data exchange and consistent planning across system boundaries.

FAQs about Production Logistics

Why is production logistics hard to plan today?

Variant diversity, frequent changes, and tight schedules lead to complex dependencies between assembly and logistics. Without continuous planning, this creates bottlenecks and inefficiencies.

How does ipolog support material flow planning?

Material flows are planned layout-based, simulated, and evaluated. Dynamic heatmaps highlight bottlenecks before they impact operations.

What’s the benefit of digital provisioning planning?

It makes clear which parts are needed, when, where, and how. Bottlenecks, detours, or excess inventory are identified early and corrected accordingly.

How does ipolog improve coordination between assembly and logistics?

ipolog provides a shared data and visualization foundation. Both teams access the same information and align processes – without endless Excel loops or miscommunication.

Can changes to layout or takt be mapped in ipolog?

Yes. Changes to layout, takt time, or transport logic can be simulated directly. Effects on walking distances, workload, and area usage become immediately visible.
