Such concepts are mainly based on RFID. Due to the reduced expense for appliances and software, however, the plant behaviour cannot be determined as accurately as in centrally controlled systems. This article describes a simulation-based method by which the performances of these two control concepts can easily be evaluated in order to determine the suitability of the decentralised concept. %K Simulation %K Materialflusssteuerung %K Steuerungskonfiguration %K Strategien %K Autonome Objekte %U http://www.logistics-journal.com/uploads/media/foerdernetze_e.pdf
