The invention discloses an internal logistics
system (10) comprising: a
transport network (14) comprising a plurality of transport units (15; a plurality of transport devices (15) arranged in the internal logistics
system (10) and configured to execute a flow of material caused by a transport order (22) in the internal logistics
system (10), each transport device (15) being operated with at least one preset variable operating parameter (36); a plurality of sensors (28) which cyclically detect a current operating state (34); and a controller (26) including a
material flow computer (30) that initially plans and generates the transport orders (22) and cyclically coordinates execution of the transport orders (22) according to the current operating state (34); wherein the controller (26) further comprises a
digital material flow twinning (32), which comprises a
material flow simulation model (40), an operating parameter optimization device (42) and an analysis device (44) and is configured to cyclically simulate the
material flow, depending on the respective current operating state (34), with and without changing the operating parameters (36) of the transport means (15), the simulated material flow is analyzed in order to improve the
throughput, and in the event of an analysis of the
throughput improvement, the relevant varied operating parameters (36) are transmitted to the relevant transport means (15), and then the relevant transport means (15) are operated on the basis of the varied operating parameters (36). Further, a method for performing a flow of material is disclosed.
