In the smart logistics industry, unmanned forklifts that intelligently identify pallets can improve work efficiency in warehousing and transportation are better than traditional manual driven by humans. Therefore, they play a critical role warehousing, semantics segmentation is an effective method to realize intelligent identification of pallets. However, most current recognition algorithms ine...

Abstract Purpose Waste recycling is one of the essential tools for European Union’s transition towards a circular economy. One possibilities wood and plastic waste to utilise it produce composite product. This study analyses environmental impacts producing pallets made from construction demolition activities in Finland. It also compares these with conventional wooden virgin materials. Methods T...

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of RFID practices on retail supply chain performance. Empirical data was collected via an online survey of 300 retail companies, with 43.3% response rate. A hierarchical regression model was developed with eight RFID practices (warehouse, central warehouse, local warehouse, store, Standards, Transportation, Pallet, and software) as independent variables a...

In this paper, we address the cooperative towing of payloads by multiple mobile robots in the plane. Robots are attached to a planar object or a pallet carrying a payload by cables. Coordinated motion by the robots allow the payload to be manipulated through a planar, warehouse-like environment. We formulate a quasi-static model for manipulation and derive equations of motion that yield the mot...

An L-approach for packing (l, w)-rectangles into an (L,W )-rectangle was introduced in an earlier work by Lins, Lins and Morabito. They conjecture that the Lapproach is exact and point out its runtime requirements as the main drawback. In this note it is shown that, by simply using a different data structure, the runtime is considerably reduced in spite of larger (but affordable) memory require...
