Click. Plan. Done. With ipolog 5.

Plan flexibly, based on KPIs, and with visual clarity – with ease using ipolog.

Production Logistics

Efficiently manage planning, provisioning, and supply processes.

Area Constraints

Utilize limited space efficiently and redistribute resources as needed.

Transport Calculation

Dynamically analyze transport volumes and walking paths.

Material Flow

Optimize routes, loops, and supply lines in coordination with assembly processes.

Why traditional planning is no longer sufficient

Planning production with Excel, PowerPoint, CAD and shared folders still works! But only until something changes.
In practice, product variants, material flows, and area requirements shift constantly. Without a central and current data source, teams quickly lose transparency. Manual planning is slow, error-prone, and makes collaboration difficult. Different departments work with outdated or inconsistent data, leading to fragmented decisions based on gut feeling instead of reliable KPIs.

That’s why planning as we know it is a discontinued model. Static tools and fragmented data simply can’t keep up with today’s dynamic production environments.

Modern production logistics require more. Effective material flow, line-side strategies and layout planning needs integrated data, visual feedback, real-time simulations, and collaboration across departments. It takes a digital solution that is reliable, scalable, and easy to use. ipolog 5 meets these requirements. The platform is 100% web-based, intuitive, and designed to support the complexity of modern production and logistics planning.

Where exactly does ipolog 5 apply?

ipolog 5 is used wherever line-side layout has to be set up, routes optimized and areas planned. From the initial concept to implementation: everyone involved works on the same database – with no gaps between planning, coordination and implementation.

Overview of Features

All relevant data converges — from material provisioning to walking paths and transport volume. ipolog visualizes, simulates, and dynamically calculates the complete material flow in both 2D and 3D. This allows you to identify bottlenecks early, reduce waste, and design more efficient processes. The result: informed decisions, reduced coordination efforts, and planning that actually works.

Rapid Layout Reconfiguration

Using drag and drop, the position of assigned containers and racks can be easily adjusted and layouts reconfigured. Various settings allow users to control placement options both within designated material zones and in open areas. Multiple UI elements assist in the fast and intuitive configuration of logistics areas.

Centralized Search Function

The centralized search function enables users to quickly locate materials, areas, or racks without having to manually browse through the layout. Regardless of their familiarity with the planning environment in ipolog, users can reliably identify the required items in just a few seconds.

KPI-Based Planning

During provisioning planning in ipolog, key performance indicators are continuously displayed to show the utilization levels of logistics areas and racks. These KPIs are updated in real time with every planning action. Full transparency over every area is ensured throughout the entire planning process.

Rack Utilization

For each rack, it is possible to see the load on individual rack levels and the remaining available front length for material placement. This enables precise and efficient rack planning. All rack-related KPIs are automatically updated whenever placement configurations are modified.
