Transforming the Composting Industry Towards Industry 4.0 and Physical Internet Capabilities

The present dissertation contributes to facilitating the transformation of industrial composting plants towards standards of Industry 4.0. Optimization potentials are analyzed, and systematic-methodical approaches to solutions are developed. The focus is on the investigation within a technical-logistic context. Thus, the dissertation addresses two key research objectives: the development of an autonomous, intelligent compost turner, and a comprehensive hyperconnected platform for heavy-duty machinery sharing.
