Systematic tugger train management: Why RoutMan® improves your logistics

With RoutMan®

  • Standardized planning platform for material flow and tugger train logistics
  • Direct processing of complex planning tasks in the layout
  • Fast dimensioning of in-house transport processes
  • Standardized calculations per VDI 5586
  • Vendor-neutral transport technology database

Without RoutMan®

  • No uniform basis for transport planning
  • High effort for manual layout and route planning
  • Error-prone dimensioning and unclear resource utilization
  • Lack of standards for key figures and calculations
  • Dependence on manufacturer-specific solutions

RoutMan® as a complete solution

We participated in a workshop with LOGSOL for two days, which focused on the RoutMan®️ software. During this time, we were able to develop an understanding of how RoutMan®️ works and what criteria are taken into account. These criteria have a direct impact on the efficiency of our red trains. We also had the opportunity to use RoutMan®️ for existing cases to review our previous decisions as well as for future changes. The suggestions we received from RoutMan®️ seemed interesting and useful. Now we have enough time to use RoutMan®️ on our own and confirm our initial assessment.

RoutMan® Academy

For material flow planning in digital factory planning, the planning of route trains is an important component. RoutMan® is a very good solution for us for this planning task and, as SaaS, offers a software solution that is easy for us to use and maintain. Since the calculation models are all aligned with the relevant VDI guideline, the overall context of route planning can be taught very well first theoretically and then practically with RoutMan® using an industry example. Furthermore, we see a very good opportunity in the future to couple RoutMan® with VisTable and then to realize a continuous, holistic material flow and layout planning.

    Frequently asked questions about the RoutMan®

    RoutMan® is a planning tool for internal transport processes. Forklift transports, tugger train systems, and AGVs can all be specifically dimensioned and evaluated. The software can be used for a new plant design or for optimization of an existing supply concept. Our logistics planning experts will be happy to support you in this.

    We can arrange a no-obligation appointment to give you a live demonstration of RoutMan®. Please contact us at routman@logsol.de.

    RoutMan® can be used across all industries by any company with internal transport processes such as forklifts, tugger trains, and AGVs.

    We lease our software under the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model for a defined period (12, 24, or 36 months) and an agreed number of users. Alternatively, you can also get to know the tool and benefit from its use as part of a logistics planning project. Depending on the scope of planning, an analysis workshop for modeling a concrete planning scenario may also be appropriate.

    To prepare an initial price indication we need the following information:

    • How many users will have access to the system?
    • How many routes/stations/needs exist in the current and/or future coverage plan?
    • Which means of transport are used or will be used for your internal transport?
    • How do you currently plan internal transport processes? Have you already established a solution or is there currently no dimensioning of technology requirements?
