Nomination Swiss Logistics Award 2022

Gilgen Logistics is digitising its intralogistics facilities. State-of-the-art technologies such as augmented reality, cloud solutions and GS1 Digital Link are being merged and used with intralogistics.

Each individual element of Gilgen Logistics' entire intralogistics system is now uniquely identified via the GS1 Global Individual Asset Identifier (GIAI) and digitally stored with the product information in the cloud. Via the QR code, the GS1 Digital Link connects each physical product with its digital twin. In this way, plant drawings, product information down to the smallest installed part can be displayed on a smartphone, tablet or via AR glasses. The data and parameters are updated throughout the entire process. This ensures that everyone involved always works with the most up-to-date data. Already during the sales process, the system can be presented in 3D and virtually inspected by the customer. For assembly and service work, the information and animated augmented reality instructions can be called up via the QR code. The live overview shows where which goods are being conveyed and which conveyor sections are in motion. The first digital system was put into operation in autumn 2021 at the Denner distribution centre in Lyss.
