PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Innovalog is a project by MACTUM TECHNOLOGIES, S.L. focused on the development of products and services for advanced internal logistics systems. Its objective is to optimize logistics flows and improve the operational efficiency of companies through customized and flexible solutions.
The project encompasses three main lines of action:
• Development of flow simulation programs and services using open source software, eliminating the need for costly commercial licenses. These simulations allow flow optimization, modeling of current and future systems, and the generation of base code for programming field control systems (PLC, HMI, field devices) and communication with higher-level systems (WMS, ERP).
• Development of own products, including an automated warehouse prototype designed to maximize efficiency in inventory management.
• Research into new materials for load carriers, with a focus on weight reduction, recyclability, and material reuse, contributing to sustainability and logistics efficiency.

SOLUTION AND TECHNOLOGIES

Innovalog offers a combination of technologies for optimizing internal logistics:
• Simulation of logistics flows using open-source software, which allows for sizing and adapting logistics systems without relying on expensive commercial licenses.
• Development of automated warehouses that incorporate advanced inventory management and space optimization technologies.
• Use of new materials to reduce weight and increase the durability of load carriers, improving the sustainability of logistics operations.
Furthermore, Innovalog integrates its solutions with field control systems (PLC, HMI) and business management systems (ERP, WMS), ensuring seamless communication between all levels of the logistics chain.

Contributed innovation

Innovalog’s innovation focuses on its ability to offer customized logistics solutions tailored to the specific needs of each client. Key innovations include:
• Adaptability to customized solutions, allowing each logistics system to be customized according to the client’s and process characteristics.

• Unit marking and traceability systems, complying with regulations such as the IATF for the automotive sector.
• Weight reduction and increased durability through the use of new materials in pallets and load carriers.
• Elimination of dependence on commercial software, thanks to the use of open source software, which reduces costs and increases flexibility in solution development.
• Flexible integration with ERP and WMS, facilitating adaptation to changes in business management systems.
• Applicability to Tier 1, Tier 2, and logistics companies linked to the automotive sector, adapting to different levels of the supply chain.
These features make Innovalog a key tool for modernizing internal logistics, bringing efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability to industrial operations.
