Plan transport routes that actually work.
matflow connects layout planning and material flow analysis: where sources and destinations sit in the floor plan determines the actual transport performance. Optimise both at the same time.
What matflow calculates for intralogistics
Transport Intensities
Import the from-to matrix and matflow calculates the normalised transport intensity for each source-destination pair.
Transport Performance (tkm/a)
Flow intensity × route length in the layout is the key metric for layout optimisation.
Aisle Width Check
Forklifts, narrow-aisle trucks and order pickers: minimum widths are flagged in the plan.
Storage Zones & Areas
Buffer, high-bay warehouse, picking zone and goods in/out are planned and evaluated as areas.
Route Optimisation
Which arrangement produces the shortest transport routes? matflow compares variants with KPIs.
Conveyor Technology Objects
Roller conveyors, chain conveyors and AGV paths are available in the library and can be placed to scale.
