Abstract

The construction of the ELT is now in full swing. This is true both for the construction of the Dome and Main Structure (DMS) in Chile, but also for all the other sub-systems manufactured by industrial partners in Europe. While the DMS is entirely managed by the industrial consortium, the shipment to Chile and the installation at the telescope of the other subsystems is mostly under the responsibility of ESO. The shipment of these components from Europe to Chile has started recently and will soon reach a level of ~10'000 components/month. All these components will need to be tracked during their shipment, incoming inspections will need to be performed, health-checks and integration with other components will need to be done. The components will then be stored temporarily at the warehouse, before being installed at the telescope. We will present the approach for the logistics, infrastructure, and the tools set up to manage the status and location of all these components and to keep the link to their associated latest documentation.
