Since several years, the control of operations in manufacturing and logistics moves from centralized planning towards decentralized control in real-time, enabled by 'intelligent objects'. Regarding decentralized control approaches, research has so far focused primarily on developing new control algorithms which provide a certain 'intelligence' to improve the achievement of logistic targets. Beside, there was a lot of effort to develop the required technologies to enable decentralized control, such as the Internet of Things or Industry 4.0. However, the underlying network structure of material flow systems and its influence on logistic performance has not been extensively studied, although the topology has to be considered along with algorithms and technology as a crucial success factor of decentralized control. For example, highly connected systems usually provide much more routing alternatives, while in turn the routing paths in sparsely connected systems have to be shared among much more objects. Both phenomena have a distinct impact on routing in material flow systems and therefore need to be considered during the design of control approaches for these systems. The goal of this project is the development of a network-based approach to divide a material flow system into clusters or modules, which are supposed to be governed by distinct types of decentralized control, in order to improve the achievement of logistic key figures.

几年来，制造和物流中的操作控制从集中式计划转向通过智能对象实现的实时分散控制。关于分散控制方法，到目前为止，研究主要集中在开发新的控制算法，这些算法提供一定的“智能”，以改善物流目标的实现。此外，还付出了大量努力来开发实现分散控制所需的技术，如物联网或工业4.0。然而，物流系统的基本网络结构及其对物流性能的影响还没有得到广泛的研究，尽管拓扑结构必须与算法和技术一起作为分散控制的关键成功因素来考虑。例如，高度连接的系统通常提供更多的路由选择，而稀疏连接的系统中的路由路径必须在更多的对象之间共享。这两种现象对物流系统中的路线都有明显的影响，因此在设计这些系统的控制方法时需要考虑到这两种现象。该项目的目标是开发一种基于网络的方法，将物流系统划分为集群或模块，这些集群或模块应该由不同类型的分散控制来管理，以提高物流关键人物的业绩。
