Automation in Warehouse Development by Roelof Hamberg,Jacques Verriet Pdf

The warehouses of the future will come in a variety of forms, but with a few common ingredients. Firstly, human operational handling of items in warehouses is increasingly being replaced by automated item handling. Extended warehouse automation counteracts the scarcity of human operators and supports the quality of picking processes. Secondly, the development of models to simulate and analyse warehouse designs and their components facilitates the challenging task of developing warehouses that take into account each customer’s individual requirements and logistic processes. Automation in Warehouse Development addresses both types of automation from the innovative perspective of applied science. In particular, it describes the outcomes of the Falcon project, a joint endeavour by a consortium of industrial and academic partners. The results include a model-based approach to automate warehouse control design, analysis models for warehouse design, concepts for robotic item handling and computer vision, and autonomous transport in warehouses. Automation in Warehouse Development is targeted at both academic researchers and industrial practitioners. It provides state-of-the art research on warehouse automation and model-based warehouse design. These topics have been addressed from a systems engineering perspective by researchers from different disciplines including software, control, and mechanical engineering, with a clear focus on the industrial applications of their research.

Data Warehouse Automation by Martin Gandalson Pdf

The definitive guide to actually building your data warehouse... Utilizing recent technology, small companies can finally build a data warehouse at a very affordable cost, and keep the design (and the data!) in-house. Large companies can now build and maintain their data warehouses better than ever before: faster, cheaper, more secure, and more agile. In fact, in this hands-on guide we will show the step-by-step development of an actual data warehouse prototype, using free-trial tools. This is a practical hands-on guide, and we will stick to the relevant topics that are important to someone who actually wants to build a DW as soon as possible. We won't be pontificating on academic positions, nor fluffing up the word count. We assume that you are more anxious to roll up your sleeves and get started than to debate theory with purists. Yet at the same time, we will detail the necessary planning that you must conduct in order to maximize the success of your data warehouse program. Along the way, we will identify and avoid the common pitfalls that can lead to failure. By following this step-by-step guide, you can create a data warehouse for your company or organization. You will not need a large budget. You will not need expensive outside consultants. You will not need to share your data outside your company. You will not need specialized skills beyond those of a typical database programmer or database administrator. Yes, you can build a data warehouse: on a small budget, completely in-house, using only your current database employee(s). Martin Gandalson will show you how, step by step. This toolkit can be used to build any data warehouse, data mart, or webhouse.

Advances on Robotic Item Picking by Albert Causo,Joseph Durham,Kris Hauser,Kei Okada,Alberto Rodriguez Pdf

This book is a compilation of advanced research and applications on robotic item picking and warehouse automation for e-commerce applications. The works in this book are based on results that came out of the Amazon Robotics Challenge from 2015-2017, which focused on fully automated item picking in a warehouse setting, a topic that has been assumed too complicated to solve or has been reduced to a more tractable form of bin picking or single-item table top picking. The book’s contributions reveal some of the top solutions presented from the 50 participant teams. Each solution works to address the time-constraint, accuracy, complexity, and other difficulties that come with warehouse item picking. The book covers topics such as grasping and gripper design, vision and other forms of sensing, actuation and robot design, motion planning, optimization, machine learning and artificial intelligence, software engineering, and system integration, among others. Through this book, the authors describe how robot systems are built from the ground up to do a specific task, in this case, item picking in a warehouse setting. The compiled works come from the best robotics research institutions and companies globally.

Mobile Robot Automation in Warehouses by Alp Yildirim,Hendrik Reefke,Emel Aktas Pdf

This book illustrates the applications of mobile robot systems in warehouse operations with an integrated decision framework for their selection and application. Mobile robot systems are an automation solution in warehouses that make order fulfillment agile, flexible and scalable to cope with the increasing volume and complexity of customer orders. Compared with manual operations, they combine higher productivity and throughput with lower operating costs. As the practical use of mobile robot systems is increasing, decision-makers are confronted with a plethora of decisions. Still, research is lagging in providing the needed academic insights and managerial guidance. The lack of a structured decision framework tailored for mobile robot system applications in warehouses increases the probability of problems when choosing automation systems. This book demonstrates the characteristics of mobile robot systems which reinforce warehouse managers in identifying, evaluating and choosing candidate systems through multiple criteria. Furthermore, the managerial decision framework covering decisions at strategic, tactical and operational levels in detail helps decision-makers to implement a mobile robot solution step-by-step. This book puts special emphasis on change management and operational control of mobile robots using path planning and task allocation algorithms. The book also introduces focus areas that require particular attention to aid the efficiency and practical application of these systems, such as facility layout planning, robot fleet sizing, and human-robot interaction. It will be essential reading for academics and students working on digital warehousing and logistics, as well as practitioners in warehouses looking to make informed decisions.

Testing the Data Warehouse Practicum by Wayne Yaddow Doug Vucevic & Pdf

The quality of a data warehouse (DWH) is the elusive aspect of it, not because it is hard to achieve [once we agree what it is], but because it is difficult to describe. We propose the notion that quality is not an attribute or a feature that a product has to possess, but rather a relationship between that product and each and every stakeholder. More specifically, the relationship between the software quality and the organization that produces the products is explored. Quality of data that populates the DWH is the main concern of the book, therefore we propose a definition for data quality as: "fitness to serve each and every purpose". Methods are proposed throughout the book to help readers achieve data warehouse quality.

Industry 4.0 for SMEs by Dominik T. Matt,Vladimír Modrák,Helmut Zsifkovits Pdf

This open access book explores the concept of Industry 4.0, which presents a considerable challenge for the production and service sectors. While digitization initiatives are usually integrated into the central corporate strategy of larger companies, smaller firms often have problems putting Industry 4.0 paradigms into practice. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) possess neither the human nor financial resources to systematically investigate the potential and risks of introducing Industry 4.0. Addressing this obstacle, the international team of authors focuses on the development of smart manufacturing concepts, logistics solutions and managerial models specifically for SMEs. Aiming to provide methodological frameworks and pilot solutions for SMEs during their digital transformation, this innovative and timely book will be of great use to scholars researching technology management, digitization and small business, as well as practitioners within manufacturing companies.
