Current less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping practices allow for temperature abuse (TA) in the last segment (last mile) of food supply chain. When this TA is combined with “First In, First Out” product rotation methods, it could lead to spoilage and waste; therefore, data-based decision models are needed aid retail managers. An experiment was designed using pallets (4 layers/pallet × 5 boxes/laye...

In the near future, many sensors and terminals will be connected to the public network to provide various convenient IoT/M2M services. In order to connect many sensors to the network efficiently, wireless communication systems in the 920MHz band are seen as attractive solutions. We are focusing on the 920MHz band to research and develop highcapacity protocols that can accommodate many terminals...

A Pallet is a squared structure used for storage. As it has been produced over five million pallets a year, methodologies that reduce the storage cost are interesting. It is necessary to best allocate the items, which we‟ve used as boxes, to take the best advantage of the storage space. There are many possible allocations for a box on the pallet, and simply solve the problem can take a long tim...

We consider the container loading problem that occurs at many furniture factories where product boxes are arranged on product pallets and the product pallets are arranged in a container for shipments. The volume of products in the container should be maximized, and the bottom of each pallet must be fully supported by the container floor or by the top of a single pallet to simplify the unloading...

We propose a new global localisation approach to determine a coarse position of a mobile robot in structured indoor space using colour-based image retrieval techniques. We use an original method of colour quantisation based on the baker’s transformation to extract a two-dimensional colour pallet combining as well space and vicinity-related information as colourimetric aspect of the original ima...

Kaca merupakan material yang banyak ditemui dikehidupan sehari-hari, biasanya berupa botol, glassblock, kaca mobil, lembaran dan berbagai macam produk lainnya. Proses produksi terdiri dari beberapa tahapan, mulai pencampuran bahan baku, peleburan, pencetakan, pendinginan, pengecekan kualitas, packing sebelum sampai kepada customer. sangat berpengaruh untuk menjaga kualitas botol cacat kotoran. ...

Background: Storage pallet racks are commonly formed by Cold-Formed-Steel (CFS) members and used worldwide to store goods on pallets. The main racking system is denoted as “selective racking”. This one deep separated aisles, allowing for each pallet, stored horizontal beams, be always accessible. Steel systems frequently subjected accidental impact forces from operating forklift trucks. If inte...
