### Integrating Modules into a Single Solution
It is also necessary to set up a data filter to make the mining of data more transparent and to avoid unnecessarily large data flows of information that may burden the system. Subsequently, this information is exported from logistic elements to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, which contains cells arranged in rows and columns and is used to process more interconnected numeric data. The exported data is in comma-separated value (CSV) format. Theon the grounds that it is not limited to a specific character set. It works just as well with Unicode, American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII), and Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code (EBCDIC) characters, although some limitations may exist for specific programs. The CSV format also has support in libraries that are available for many programming languages. Data exported from an internal database of logistic elements can be extracted into simulation software through an interface used to read exported data. After importing the data, the data must be ensured to be of the same data type that is set up in the internal tables of the simulation software. It may also be necessary to filter and clean the data from data that is not used in the simulation model. After data processing, a simulation run is started based on the parameters obtained. After statistical evaluation, experimental runs are carried out in order to find a solution to the problem that has arisen. Subsequently, the data can be exported using the newly created method for writing data from internal tables to the desired data type. The data type of the exported data must be set depending on the program into which the data will be imported. Data exported from simulation software are sent to a communication interface that overcomes the connection between the simulation software and the database system of logistical elements. The principle of the communication interface is based on connecting to the communication bus of the logistics element for the purpose of data transmission. Data transmission is provided through an Ethernet network. 2.2 Proposal for Data Collection and Evaluation of Capacity Utilisation of Manufacturing and Logistics Facilities Using Automated Data Collection  
By deploying new communication and sensor systems in manufacturing and logistics systems, we obtain a wealth of data that provide real-time status information about individual devices. This enables the digitalisation of the manufacturing environment. A system for monitoring intra-logistics processes with the ability to easily expand the coverage of monitored elements, as well as the ability to extend functionality to elements of automation, analysis, or the advanced navigation of moving objects, is included in automatic data collection and evaluation. In addition to the sensory part, the digitisation of machinery and equipment requires infrastructure for processing digital quantities and network infrastructure for the transmission and processing of information. Part of the proposed solution is the incorporation of location technology meeting the Industry 4.0 standard, covering defined areas of manufacturing and logistics premises of the factory, with the potential for universal use for the needs of digital and virtual factories. The module for automatic data collection is based on Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology. The module architecture for automatic data collection is shown in Figure 8.  
Figure 7: The principle of the communication interface in AGV—Simulation software. The following are the primary components of the automated data gathering system's application architecture:  
* Client interface--is represented by an application or web browser on a computer, tablet, or smartphone. This ensures that input and output data are displayed. Requests are sent via http, which is used to transfer documents between servers and service clients. * Application server--in this module, the entire logic of the system is realised and is designed to install, operate, and host applications and related services for end users.
