Abstract

The new control paradigm Internet of Things (IoT) in intralogistics propagates highly modular and flexible decentralized control systems based on agent technology and radio-frequency identification (RFID). The productive application of such systems demands the fulfillment of several requirements, which exist in the industrial reality of the facility logistics. The real-time requirements in decentralized control systems are examined within the scope of the Collaborative Research Center (CRC 696) “Logistics on Demand” (sub-project C5 – “Real-Time Logistics”). The systematic performance analysis of legacy and new controls is an important aspect of this research work. In this paper an approach for the evaluation of the performance of decentralized control is proposed. The collection and analysis of performance data is facilitated by self-developed measuring instruments.
