The formation of the digital economy and the information society requires a revision of traditional concepts of business management. The growth of the assortment and nomenclature of material values, a complication of their accounting reflection in the enterprises of logistics business necessitates the implementation of a new logistics system of chaotic storage. The article substantiates the expediency of the evolutionary replacement of the technology of automated identification of material values (bar code for radio frequency) in the conditions of organization of warehousing on the principles of chaotic storage, which requires improvement of accounting at modern enterprises. The purpose of the scientific research is to develop organizational and methodological provisions for the accounting of material values at the warehouses of enterprises in the conditions of implementation of a logistic system of chaotic storage and the use of radio frequency identification technology to optimize the automated warehouse management. The experience of the chaotic storage of material values by Amazon Corporation and the systematization of literature sources for the introduction of a new concept of logistics flow management showed the lack of scientifically reasoned proposals and practical developments in the automation of accounting of storage and movement of material values. The peculiarities of the organization of accounting and management of the movement of material values in the logistic system of chaotic storage are investigated in the article. The documentation procedure and documenting the logistical operations of the movement of material values using radio frequency identification technology have been developed. The technique of inventory control over the storage of inventory objects in the conditions of automation of warehouse management has been improved. The choice of the method of the identified estimation of receipt and disposal of material values for optimization of the warehouse stocks of the enterprises in the logistic system of chaotic storage is substantiated. The practical significance of the conducted research lies in the possibility of implementing a logistic system of chaotic storage with the use of technology of radio frequency identification of material values at enterprises, which will provide: automated without the direct participation of accounting personnel collecting accounting data on the movement and storage of material values; permanent automated inventory of objects to control their storage; optimization of management of logistic processes based on the use of robots-conveyors for the automated movement of inventory from warehouse positions to destinations; electronic documentation and documentation procedure in the warehouse accounting system of enterprises; reducing inventory levels with lost consumer value (shelf life) or low market demand, etc. The results of the study may be useful for enterprises that are focused on innovative management techniques, regardless of ownership, size of the business, or industry.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the current state of warehouse logistics, which is characterized by the use of automated technologies and software for work performed in the warehouse to reduce logistics costs. Automation of all types of warehouses increases the cost of warehouse operations by automating small, repetitive tasks, allowing workers to focus on more complex tasks. The development of information technologies and the use of modern technology expand the possibilities of improving the efficiency of the warehouse. The warehouse robotics industry includes several types of warehouse robots that serve different purposes and functions, such as filling orders and moving inventory in a warehouse, etc. One of the types of warehouse robotics that we consider in this article are vehicles with automatic control technology AGV (Automatic guided vehicle). The AGV technology is based on an automatic trolley, an electric tool that transports goods from place to place. Since the trolley is controlled automatically, maintenance of the trolley does not require a separate operator-the trolleys move along a given trajectory in isolated conditions without the need for human labor. In addition to the need to maintain the required product quality, the use of AGV has the following advantages: reducing the number of personnel, especially high-quality and responsible transport operators, ensuring occupational safety, minimizing damage caused by product damage, since all movements of vehicles with automatic control can be precisely programmed.

Full textAbstract:
Perfect order rate (POR) is one of the superior measures of the logistics processes quality. POR is at the top of the hierarchy of key performance indicators (KPI) in supply chain and is considered as difficult to define and measure. Perfect order rate is composed of sub-measures touching technical, economic, quality and safety aspects of logistics processes. POR directly defines what the organization considers to be the perfect implementation of its tasks (and thus sets goals for the organization) and, secondly, measures the degree of achievement of these goals. The paper defines the concept of perfect order rate by including new elements to classic definition, so far rarely considered in the literature: possibility of order implementation according to standard procedures in organization and safety aspects. The concept of logistics chain and the impact of its functioning on the POR value have been defined. The picking and replenishment processes were discussed in detail as the basic elements affecting the quality of logistics processes and the value of POR. Next, the issues of logistic processes safety in warehouse facilities were discussed. The large intensity of warehouse operations along with their mechanization and automation very often leads to many hazards in warehouses and logistics chain. These hazard are usually related with warehouse workers safety. However, they can also lead to various delays or downtime in the material flows, as well as damage or reducing the quality of materials. So it was assumed that safety aspects can influencing the value of POR in the logistics chain. Due to conducted research and compiled reports indicate that many accidents in the warehouse are associated with the forklifts use as equipment for material handling. Therefore, in paper main attention was paid to hazards related with forklifts, warehouse safety speed, etc.

Introduction. The paper considers the question of the directions of mechanization and automation of rack warehouses logistics. The paper considers hovercraft transport devices operating in the storage area with inclined feeding channels. The displacement of the load center relative to the geometric center of the support surface is studied. It is noted how this affects the main characteristics of the studied devices. Problem Statement. Previous studies have proved the sufficient performance of non-powered hovercraft transport devices with inclined feed channels, their safety and efficiency in the transportation of piece goods, as well as the potential for mechanization and automation of transport and storage operations in rack warehouses. The task of this work is to present a scheme of mechanization for the storage area of a rack warehouse equipped with a transport device with inclined feeding channels. Theoretical Part. In rack warehouses designed for the storage of individual goods, the receiving, storing and sending operations are in most cases carried out using carrying and lifting machines. Stacker cranes are most common, but their use requires the creation of complex and expensive systems, i.e. significant capital and operating costs. The article considers the system of mechanization of a rack warehouse with the use of hovercraft vehicles with an off-center location of the cargo. In this case, the height of the airbag depends on the eccentricity of the load location. The points of application and the values of the resistance and traction forces, torques and friction forces that affect the total resistance are shown, which are typical for such a situation Conclusion. The results of the research allow us to state that in some cases, instead of traditional transport devices, the use of hovercraft transport devices with the inclined feed channels is effective in logistics enterprises.

Industry 4.0 integrates modern technologies into independently functioning units and fundamentally changes established production and non-production processes. Industry 4.0 is also used in the field of logistics with the introduction of automation, robotics or modern warehouse systems with a key element of digitisation. Development based on these principles presents huge challenges for the logistics sector as well as opportunities for further growth. Because the field of logistics is very large, it is important to be more specific. Internal logistics is a very important part of production processes; areas such as storage and supply of production lines with input materials are some of the key processes in a company. The implementation of Industry 4.0 principles is specific and, for many companies, demanding technologically, organisationally and financially. Therefore, companies must know their current level of logistics processes and evaluate the readiness of these elements for automation and digitisation. The company’s management should create a strategy which evaluates internal logistics processes for Industry 4.0. Company readiness will be evaluated on the basis of the tools (methodology) presented in the article. An objective assessment with a multi-level system is needed, and therefore internal logistics is structured into sub-areas. The implementation of this innovative method of evaluation in the industrial environment and a description of the tool development process will also be presented. As these are extensive issues, the initial sections cover the theoretical background of the topics that justify the need and novelty of this tool.

Full textAbstract:
The main link in the logistics supply chain is the cargo customs complex. It provides customs and logistics services to cargo owners during the export and import of goods, complex services, placement of goods in a customs warehouse and a temporary storage warehouse. To substantiate the choice of the optimal logistics supply chain and optimize the work of the cargo customs complex, it is proposed to use simulation modeling. The model of operation of the logistics chain and the cargo customs complex is presented in a general form. The proposed model is implemented in the GPSS World simulation automation package. Testing the simulation model involved checking its adequacy. Checking the adequacy of the simulation model, which showed the maximum value of the t-statistic of 1.424 with a critical value of 1.85, proved its compliance with the work of a real object. After completing the adequacy check, the simulation error was estimated, which was 3 % with an allowable 5 %, due to the presence of pseudo-random number generators in the simulation model. Thus, the simulation error is insignificant for this study. For the cargo customs complex, an example of the simulation results is given. Based on the results of simulation modeling, it is possible to determine: the optimal type of the logistics supply chain and the optimal structure of the cargo customs complex. A wide range of tasks that the proposed simulation model can solve is presented. Thus, the developed simulation model will make it possible to analyze and improve the modes of operation of the cargo customs complex. In addition, it will allow to get an informed decision regarding the use of a certain type of logistics supply chain

Full textAbstract:
In the last decade, the Industry 4.0 concept has introduced automation and cyber-physical systems as the core elements of future logistics, supported by an array of technologies, such as augmented reality (AR) providing the necessary support for the digital transformation of manufacturing and logistics and the smartification and digital refinement of traditional pre-Industry 4.0 processes. This paper studies the influence and the potential of gamification techniques in supporting innovative Industry 4.0-enhanced processes in the contemporary warehouse work ecosystem. Gamification in the workplace aims to motivate the employees and increase their involvement in an activity, while at the same time creating a sense of an everyday different experience rather than a set of repetitive and monotonous tasks. Since the design of such a system is a complex process, the most widespread design frameworks are studied, and the emphasis is on the principal game elements and their connection to mobilization mechanisms. Finally, an initial proposal of a gamification framework to support the AR-enhanced order picking process in contemporary logistics centers is provided with an emphasis on the mechanics of a fair and functional reward system. The proposed approach aims to showcase the potential alignment of business processes to human motivation, respecting the differences between tasks and the workers’ cognitive workload.

The information management system for bakery serial production is presented. The object system is the technical means for the release and delivery of products to consumers, a range of products, a production plan (formed by the demand for products), a set of points of sale of products, and a graph of transport infrastructure. The capabilities of the warehouses of the system are limited, raw and other materials are perishable (storage periods are calculated in days), the number of delivery vehicles to the points of sale is small (<3), the needs of consumers are low (single demand for products), the number of points of sale is large (≈102), the shelf life is short (2-3 days). The controlled variable is the function U (t) - the ratio of the volume of weekly delivered product (taking into account the return of unsold products and volume of manufacturing defects) to the delivery cost. The control system is tasked with maintaining the maximum possible level of the function U. An algorithm for solving the problem of maximizing the function U is proposed, which consists in the following: 1) determine the maximum production plan, 2) determine the minimum delivery plan (monitoring the implementation of production and transportation plans gives feedback in the form of volumes of products that have not passed quality control Qb and have not been delivered to consumers QR), 3) feedback information is used to adjust production and transportation plans by applying man-machine decision-making procedures. To solve this problem, automation is required through the development and implementation of specialized software. A systematic approach to the development of information support involves the analysis of business processes of the enterprise. The critical processes to ensure the continued operation of the system are: "Supply of raw materials for production" and "Delivery of finished products to consumers". The task of ensuring timely replenishment of the warehouse is solved by the implementation of a supplier management system (SCM). The task of ensuring the delivery of finished products is solved by finding the optimal transportation plan. An adaptation of the algorithm for solving the problem of products transportation is presented. An algorithm for handling an emergency situation with the redistribution of cargo in the event of a vehicle breakdown during a voyage has been formalized.

The investment decision was made last year, and after a time-consuming selection process and intensive negotiations, the contract with the general contractor was signed. The business segment Fixing systems of the fischer group of companies faced a significant investment in its logistics – the development of automation technology in the Global Distribution Center (GDC). According to the project schedule, the transition to the automated small parts storage with shuttle technology would take place in December of this year. It was mid-April, and therefore the right time for the Head of Logistics of the business segment fischer Fixing systems, Matthias Wehle, to describe the current status: Were all the important milestones achieved and would the subsequent steps ensure a smooth transition? The employees in the logistics got accustomed to changes over the years. Structural changes such as the introduction of SAP R/3 in early 2000 and the establishment of the automated high-bay warehouse in 2008 had been successfully implemented. It was the same with the continuous improvement process through the use of the fischerProzessSystem fPS. The introduction of pick-by-light technology for the picking of small sized products with high demand had worked well, too. But the last staff meeting about launch of the shuttle system had left with him a feeling of uncertainty. He could already feel the spirit of optimism from some of the employees triggered by the upcoming introduction of the new system. The majority, however, listened patiently and Mr. Wehle sensed insecurity among the employees – how does this change affect me? Up until now, management had used multiple channels to communicate information to the employees. But feedback from the workforce to those in charge was rather rare. And the logistics manager remembered that the use of pick-by-voice for picking had been stopped for a number of reasons. Now as a result of the largest investment in recent years, the GDC faced a drastic operational change. With this in mind, Mr. Wehle pondered over the issue of employee communication again and again. And they had eight more months in order to take action until December…

This paper presents a novel approach for Multi-Robot Task Allocation (MRTA) that introduces priority policies on preemptive task scheduling and considers dependencies between tasks, and tolerates faults. The approach is referred to as Multi-Robot Preemptive Task Scheduling with Fault Recovery (MRPF). It considers the interaction between running processes and their tasks for management at each new event, prioritizing the more relevant tasks without idleness and latency. The benefit of this approach is the optimization of production in smart factories, where autonomous robots are being employed to improve efficiency and increase flexibility. The evaluation of MRPF is performed through experimentation in small-scale warehouse logistics, referred to as Augmented Reality to Enhanced Experimentation in Smart Warehouses (ARENA). An analysis of priority scheduling, task preemption, and fault recovery is presented to show the benefits of the proposed approach.

As the fundamental element of the Internet of Things, the QR code has become increasingly crucial for connecting online and offline services. Concerning e-commerce and logistics, we mainly focus on how to identify QR codes quickly and accurately. An adaptive binarization approach is proposed to solve the problem of uneven illumination in warehouse automatic sorting systems. Guided by cognitive modeling, we adaptively select the block window of the QR code for robust binarization under uneven illumination. The proposed method can eliminate the impact of uneven illumination of QR codes effectively whilst meeting the real-time needs in the automatic warehouse sorting. Experimental results have demonstrated the superiority of the proposed approach when benchmarked with several state-of-the-art methods.

Nowadays, Autonomous carrier vehicles are becoming more predominant for the modern society. Hence designing these vehicles is one of the core fields of automation engineering. In regard to that, our project full-fills an idea of autonomous transportation. This vehicle is a carrier of materials from one place to another place through a fixed lane Path (guide way). It can also act as an easy vehicle for disabled and blind people in their houses.The main carrier consists of a table mounted on four omni-wheeled base which has control unit which guides the direction of the wheels. The carrier has an insert which moves through a guide keyway. Each junction and turning points has proximity sensor which indicates the position of carrier to the controller. The microcontroller is programmed in such a way that it can find the direction that the bot has to move at every junctions. This was programmed by considering the shortest path between the current position and the destination point. The controlled signal is amplified and made to actuate the motor control relays.Carrier bot is operated wirelessly using RF remote which has the position buttons. Those buttons are assigned as the positions. These are the positions that the sensors were built. When we call the bot to a point by pressing the corresponding button it can arrive to that point from any positions and it can autonomously find its way to there and can be sent to any position in a similar way. It can find its applications in a variety of area so as stated as multi-purpose carrier, ranging from hypermarkets to hospitals and libraries to warehouses. In hotels and restaurants it can be employed to serve the food as a servant.

Purpose This paper aims to explore methods of defining ejecting zones (EZs) used in automatic picking systems (APSs), particularly in A-frame APSs. An A-frame APS automatically ejects products onto a conveyor, which then brings the products to their destination. EZs are moving zones on a conveyor, and each EZ corresponds to one picking order. Products are ejected as a zone passes channels in which the products are stored. Design/methodology/approach First, three EZ types are defined, and their operations are explained. Second, picking orders are analyzed and categorized by considering the structure and the picking mechanism of an A-frame APS. In addition, picking-order instances reflecting actual data are randomly generated according to each category. Finally, the performance of the EZs is evaluated using the picking-order instances and computer simulations. Findings The results from the computer simulations suggest the EZ types suitable for use with various picking order types considering order fulfilment speed and energy usage. Research limitations/implications In this paper, the authors only adopt a triangular distribution which is considered most practical distribution in the industry. Practical implications It is believed that these results can provide managers and operators with useful guides to facilitate the effective operation of an A-frame APS. The provided ideas have been implemented at the pharmaceutical warehouse of the largest logistics company in Korea. Social implications The result shows that the proposed idea could save energy consumption and the APS have potential to save labor involvement in picking. Originality/value It is essential to define the EZs when operating an A-frame APS efficiently, but there is almost no research in this area. This paper focuses on defining EZs, as well as methods to utilize these zones.
