Messe Frankfurt optimizes traffic flows for maximum efficiency

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.

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.
