Messe Frankfurt optimizes traffic flows for maximum efficiency

The Challenge

Limited logistics space

High demand in the metropolitan area requires resource-efficient use of existing space.

Rising traffic volumes

The increasing number of inbound and outbound transports added complexity to traffic coordination.

Manual process control

Many processes were managed without IT support, resulting in limited transparency.

Peak periods during trade fair operations

Set-up and dismantling phases created uneven traffic flows and increased coordination effort.

The Solution

Central traffic management

Implementation of the Infios Yard Management System (YMS) to centrally control and manage all transport movements.

Intelligent truck navigation

Automated guidance of trucks to optimal loading and unloading points based on current capacity.

Dynamic capacity management

Regulation of inbound traffic and buffering of vehicles during peak utilization.

Real-time transparency

Mobile monitoring and control towers ensure full tracking of all movements.

Flexible process control

Adaptation to different trade fair requirements through configurable rules and scenarios.
