A Graphical Specification Tool for Decentralized Warehouse Control Systems

چکیده
Figure 1. Warehouse specification tool used to describe the Automated Case Picking module. Challenges Warehouses play an important role in modern supply chains. These facilities receive goods from various suppliers, provide temporary storage for these goods, and distribute them to customers according to the received orders. The flow of goods in a warehouse is controlled by a warehouse management and control system (WMCS). The large variety of warehouse equipment and the very specific delivery requirements of different customers make the development of an effective WMCS a very challenging task. The design process of a WMCS is complex and time consuming. To address this problem, Lorraine has developed a graphical specification tool.

A New Class of Decentralized Interaction Estimators for Load Frequency Control in Multi-Area Power Systems
Load Frequency Control (LFC) has received considerable attention during last decades. This paper proposes a new method for designing decentralized interaction estimators for interconnected large-scale systems and utilizes it to multi-area power systems. For each local area, a local estimator is designed to estimate the interactions of this area using only the local output measurements. In fact,...

Commercial off-the-shelf repository management systems claim to provide a solid basis for building CASE tools by offering special meta-data management facilities (like versioning, configuration management, long transactions support). Another important area of application for these systems is the management of meta-data in data warehouse environments. The ISO-IRDS standard defines a framework fo...
متن کاملA human-centric tool for component design and reuse in the UML
We present a tool for component system design in the UML. The tool supports an internal process model for graphical specifications. The model is used to guarantee consistency of different graphical views in the component specification. The model allows the tool to manage the graphical views composition, so that the composed specification inherits internal process models of components.
متن کاملA Holistic Approach for Managing Requirements of Data Warehouse Systems
Quantitive evaluations show that many data warehouse projects fail at an alarming rate, wasting all the time, money, and effort spent on them. Cost overruns and schedule delays are attributed in large part, to problems associated with requirements. Therefore, a crucial success factor for the implementation of data warehouse systems is efficient requirements management. In this paper we introduc...
