Ultrasonic scanning experiments were conducted for detecting defects in wood pallet parts using rolling transducers. The characterization of defects is important for sorting and grading pallet parts, as well as for manufacturing quality and durable pallets. This paper reports the scanning results for stringers and deckboards – the two main components of pallet for red oak and yellow-poplar spec...

This paper studied a new combined automatic warehouse system, which can not only realize storage and sorting process, but also process the replenishment request according to inventory demand. In this there are two areas, one for pallets other totes. Pallet area picking, tote handle cases picking. addition, system automatically initiates from pallet area, when is lower than safety stock. uses ch...

Although aedine eggs are resistant to desiccation, little is known about this trait in Haemagogus species. In study, we assessed the desiccation resistance of Hg. spegazzinii eggs. The were collected using ovitraps over a period one week March 2020. positive pallets stored until experimentation and immersed solution water yeast for larval hatching subsequent species identification. emerged adul...

Unit-load warehouses store and retrieve unit-loads, typically pallets. When storage and retrieval operations are not coordinated, travel is from a pickup and deposit (P&D) point to a pallet location and back again. In some facilities, workers interleave storage and retrieval operations to form a dual-command cycle. Two new aisle designs proposed by Gue and Meller (2006) use diagonal aisles to r...

Multi-agents systems and holonic manufacturing systems are suitable approaches to design a new and alternative class of production control systems, based on the decentralization of control functions over distributed autonomous and cooperative entities. However, in spite of their enormous potential they lack some aspects related to interoperability, migration, optimisation in decentralised struc...

In some environments, mobile robots need to perform tasks in a precise manner. For this reason, we require obtaining good controllers in charge of these control tasks. In this work, we present a real-world application in the domain of multi-objective machine learning, which consists of an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV), specifically, a fork-lift truck must often perform docking maneuvers to loa...

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) recently has gained enormous attention in various industry sectors, the media, and in academic research. This paper focuses in early RFID applications in the retail supply chain. It takes a quick look at the available literature and then explains the technological issues including the need for standardization and the challenges on the data, network, and app...

Forklift trucks are a basic element in material handling and will help to control the flow of goods in the future. This paper outlines how forklift trucks with integrated RFID hardware can be deployed in warehouse IT systems. Forklift trucks will be able to communicate with management assistant systems by means of RFID and WLAN. Goods carriers like pallets and pallet cages are equipped with RFI...

Benchmarking warehousing and distribution operations is an appropriate and popular first step in re-engineering warehousing operations. Within the warehousing and distribution industry benchmarking has traditionally been focused on comparing quantitative performance measures, such as operating cost — typically measured as warehousing and/or distribution cost as percent of sales; operating produ...
