Reflections on the falcon project
bookPart
This chapter reflects on Falcon, a project to advance automation inwarehouses. Its main results and their impact as well as the project’s process arediscussed. The impact of Falcon on its industrial partners mainly concern model-based methods, of which strengthening the inception of the new architecture forsystem-level control of warehouses is a good example. Reflecting on Falcon asan industry-as-laboratory project, the application of obtained research results in anindustrial context, albeit in an indirect way, has been perceived as successful. Theproject learnt us that the wide span of industrial challenges and research approaches inFalcon should be bridged in multiple steps with smaller, though overlapping scopes.
