Abstract
In a transfer station heterogeneous goods need quickly to be transported from a source to a destination port. This involves high requirements regarding flexibility and throughput. Until now existing material flow technologies cannot completely satisfy both requirements simultaneously since they are either flexible or with good performance. This paper will present a novel material flow system approach that will overcome these limitations by combining the various research domains of robotics, wireless sensor networks and decentralized scheduling.
