Intralogistics 4.0 with COSYS Solutions: Paving the Way for Smart Warehouse and Transport Management

Digital process management through mobile data capture and warehouse management software

At the heart of Intralogistics 4.0 lies the ability to digitally capture and control every warehouse process. COSYS mobile data capture solutions enable digital recording of goods receipt, relocations, picking, and inventory directly via mobile devices or smartphones. All collected data is transmitted to the connected warehouse management system (WMS) – the COSYS WebDesk – where it can be viewed, analyzed, and managed in real time. This streamlined approach minimizes errors, saves time, and ensures that all information is up-to-date and centrally accessible.

Business Intelligence as a foundation for decision-making

Another cornerstone of Intralogistics 4.0 is the use of Business Intelligence (BI). COSYS delivers powerful analytics tools that leverage the data collected throughout warehouse operations. Via intuitive dashboards, users can track stock movements, turnover rates, inventory values, and stock trends. Going beyond basic reporting, COSYS’ BI platform interprets the data, identifies patterns, and provides automated recommendations — such as stock redistribution, optimization of storage space, or timely replenishment of fast-moving items. This allows businesses to make informed decisions based on real-time, interconnected information.

Smart task management for streamlined operations

Efficient operations require more than just data collection and analysis — intelligent task distribution is key. COSYS Task Management ensures that activities like restocking packaging materials, addressing errors, or handling special orders are automatically assigned to the appropriate staff. Each task appears directly on employees’ mobile devices, complete with priority levels, deadlines, and live status updates. Supervisors gain full visibility into all active, pending, and completed tasks, enabling better resource planning, faster response times, and consistently high process quality.

Integration of autonomous mobile robots (AMR)

Modern intralogistics increasingly relies on automation to stay competitive. COSYS offers autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) that can automate transport processes without the need for traditional conveyor systems or guide paths. Equipped with cameras and lidar sensors, these robots navigate warehouses independently, avoid obstacles, and work safely alongside employees (cobot concept). Typical applications include transporting bins, shelves, or tools, as well as assisting with picking tasks. This not only reduces physical strain and walking distances for staff but also boosts overall warehouse performance.

Seamless system integration for full data visibility

One of COSYS’ key advantages is its open system architecture. Thanks to interfaces with ERP systems, MES platforms, and third-party software, all data can be consolidated in a centralized database. This eliminates data silos and creates a unified digital image of all internal processes, which can then be accessed by different systems for planning, analysis, or process control. As a result, transparency across the entire value chain is significantly enhanced.

Conclusion: Future-proof intralogistics with COSYS

Intralogistics 4.0 is the cornerstone of a future-ready and competitive logistics strategy. Companies that embrace digitalization, automation, and interconnected systems early on benefit from increased efficiency, lower costs, improved planning capabilities, and greater transparency. COSYS provides the full range of tools needed to achieve this — from warehouse management systems and mobile data capture to business intelligence, task management, and autonomous robots.
