Business objects for logistics - optimization through digital models

As part of the "Logistics Mall - Cloud Computing for Logistics" research project, a business object model was developed to improve logistics processes. The aim was to provide companies with a flexible and efficient solution for designing their business processes.

Project goals and challenges

• Development of a standardized business object model that enables uniform management of logistics data.
• Provision of an instance repository for managing specific business object instances.
• Adaptation of the model to specific company requirements to ensure flexible use.

Technological implementation and innovations

• Structured data models: Business objects have been integrated into a standardized architecture in order to better control processes.
• Flexible customization system: Companies can modify the model independently in order to map specific logistical requirements.
• Integration into existing IT systems: The business objects have been developed in such a way that they can be seamlessly integrated into existing logistics IT solutions.

Areas of application and advantages

• Increased flexibility for companies thanks to modular customization options.
• Efficient process control, as logistical processes can be better planned and coordinated.
• Standardization of logistical data to facilitate integration and analysis.
• Independence from specific systems, as the model can be adapted to different software solutions.

Future prospects and transferability

The developed solution enables companies to optimize the management of logistics business objects and supports efficient process design. Thanks to the customizable architecture, the model can be used across industries and integrated into various digital platforms.
