I suppose the two different schema's are interesting to similarly different users of the database as well? If so, you could also create two different types of users with schema search_paths defaulting to their respective schema. That way logistics-type users don't get confused by research tables and researchers don't get confused by logistics tables. You could even restrict access to the schema the user isn't supposed to access.
