Abstract

The fastest movements can be watched in nature at flying. Based on this fact the technology of throwing or shooting of objects is proposed for tasks in logistic chains of production systems. At first some existing applications are presented. Afterwards the potential of the technology and alternatives for realization approaches in the future are described in a systematic order. Since the acceptance of this technology is not yet very high for real applications today, the challenges are addressed, which still have to be solved. Finally some visionary applications are presented, which can illustrate the potential of the technology for the future more concrete.
