Its exposed position on the threshold between the two largest national economies in the EU, Germany and France, makes this state an important player in logistics. This, coupled with outstanding transport infrastructure, draws a multitude of companies to Saarland to set up their European hubs. Leading logistics service providers guarantee 24-hour delivery service from Saarland to most of Europe. Distinctive for this state is its connection to the multi-national SaarLorLux economic region, a well-functioning cooperative with its neighbors, France and Luxembourg. This, together with its central location, makes Saarland a virtually ideal starting point – as the “Doorway to Western Europe”. It is for this reason that many companies in the logistics sector, from global players to medium-sized service providers, have chosen Saarland as their strategic base. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of these companies. The variety of logistics services offered in Saarland is enormous; they range from carriers to coordination and management, to integrated logistics systems. Accordingly, the Logistics Guide from the Saarland Logistics Initiative reflects this variety and expertise. ffasffasffdgfggd 7 The close cooperation between economy and research in Saarland creates forward-looking synergies. Research centers such as the DFKI (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence) or the IPL (Prof. Schmidt Institute for Production and Logistics Systems) ensure Saarland’s sustainability, as shown through application-oriented development. Indicative of this is the Innovative Retail Laboratory (IRL), an applied research lab from the DFKI and GLOBUS SB-Warenhaus Holding where new forms of customer interaction are being developed and tested for use. Saarland research is also on the cutting edge of “intelligent production processes”: SemProM, a BMBF (Federal Ministry of Education and Research) project also being conducted by the DFKI, is in the process of developing digital product memory. By using integrated sensors, production relationships become transparent, supply chains and environmental impacts traceable. The producer benefits from the support, the consumer from the additional information. There is a lot that speaks for Saarland. In this dynamic federal state, everyone throws their talent into the pot in order to shape the future together. Saarland’s distinctive “direct lines” of communication and easy access to decisionmakers in policy and administration allow for quick action, and those who decide to open their doors in Saarland benefit from the lower real estate and investment costs. Saarland is as dynamic as the logistics sector itself: we too offer customized concepts for both today and tomorrow. ffasffasffdgfggd Research and Development 8 Research and Developement Research and Development in Higher Education Institutions Research and Development Related to Higher Education Institutions Business Related Technology Transfer Research and Development Research and Development in Higher Education Institutions Saarland University of Applied Sciences (HTW) Qbing Research Group Qbing Research Group Ongoing Projects With an interdisciplinary team of engineers in the fields of sensor technology, electrical engineering and automation as well as economists with a logistics background, the Qbing Research Group - managed by Prof. Dr. Steffen Hütter does applied research for industry in the areas of production, logistics and technology. In doing so, the Research Group mainly focusses on intralogistic processes and the application of modern RFID sensor systems or other pioneering identification technologies. This approach is based on both the use of the latest scientific methods and the application of suitable instruments of process documentation as a starting point for various optimization models such as the value stream methodology or simulation. To realize these optimization models, Qbing supports diverse industrial companies not only in the actual conceptional stage but also during the implementation and onsite realization phases until the improvement is effectively embedded within the company. • Consortium member in the RAN project (RFID based Automotive Network) of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology • Development of a Center of Excellence for integrated innovative production logistics • Value stream analyses and new conception of logistics processes for industry and commerce Logistics Related R&D Services of the Working Group Qbing • Development of special RFID applications in intralogistics • Holistic improvement of processes through KAIZEN and value stream analysis Contact © Saarland Logistic Guide • www.logistik.saarland.de • Prototypical testing of RFID applications in a production environment Forschungsgruppe Qbing an der Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft des Saarlandes Wissenschaftliche Leitung: Prof. Dr. Steffen H.

Background © Saarland Logistic Guide • www.logistik.saarland.de Due to increasing competition and globalisation, industrial companies will need to work more closely than before with their suppliers in order to remain competitive. The shifting of operations, from larger corporations down to their suppliers, means that even small- and medium-sized companies have continued to specialize in their areas of expertise and have thus become highly innovative. The big challenge for the future is to use supplier knowledge to develop new products. Consequently, companies should ensure they have both extensive communication at all levels and a permanent internal exchange of data. The internal optimization and further development of business processes is therefore a key task for all companies. Suitable software solutions are needed that can map and control the activities of individual companies. It is clear that applied computer science is key to success. Business processes and the software used must be coordinated so that the software becomes a useful organizational tool. Only then can smooth operation within an individual company and lasting success be guaranteed.
