Welcome to the IFL
The Institute for Material Handling and Logistics (IFL) is part of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Our focus is on the combination of research, teaching and industrial implementation. Here, the interdisciplinary team led by Professor Kai Furmans, Professor Zäzilia Seibold and Professor Rania Rayyes answers the questions surrounding the logistics of tomorrow. We work on current logistics topics:
- Material flow analysis, planning and optimisation
- Industry 4.0
- Automation and robotics
- Digitalisation
- Artificial intelligence
- Sustainability
- Construction and dimensioning

The new version of the standardized communication interface under the technical lead of IFL between fleet control and mobile robots is available now. Learn more here!
