Abstract

Digital transformation in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is progressing only slowly. In addition to scarce resources, there is often a lack of the necessary IT or technology knowledge and acceptance among employees. In this paper, we present a possible approach for introducing a specific technology, real-time location, in an intralogistics scenario. Together with a pilot company, load carriers are equipped with tags for tracking in an exemplary scenario. The potential of the technology and its concrete application are demonstrated in a teaching and learning concept specially developed for the employees of SMEs. The selection of the technology, the procedure for setting up the scenario and the conception of the workplace learning approach are described in detail.
