The Faculty of Engineering, Mulawarman University's equipment warehouse is divided into the office-stationery and damaged-goods warehouse. Office-stationery stores office stationery, spare parts, consumables. Meanwhile, for damaged goods various such as furniture, Personal Computer (PC) components, electronic goods, laboratory equipment. problem with that many items need to be better organized ...

In this paper, we present a new algorithm for routing order pickers in manual warehouses and optimizing the total distance covered. The proposed approach is an adaptation of the recent water wave optimization (WWO) algorithm, a nature-inspired algorithm based on the shallow water wave theory. The algorithm is tested on a rectangular 1-block warehouse, with 12 aisles and 45 storage locations per...

This article explains how to design and develop a "near real-time adaptive image datamart", used, as a decisional support system for vision algorithms, and then as a mass storage system. Using RDF specification as storing format of vision algorithms meta-data, we can optimise the data warehouse concepts for video analysis, add some processes able to adapt the current model and pre-process data ...

In this paper, we propose a new approach to manage data distribution in a relationnal data warehouse environment. This approach deals with the dynamic data splitting on a set of interconnected machines. The data distribution that we consider is different from the “classical” one which depends on the data use. The distribution in our approach consists in splitting data when the machine reaches h...

Increasing broadband penetration in the last few years has resulted in a dramatic growth in innovative, bandwidth-intensive applications that have been embraced by the consumers. Coupled with this consumer trend is the migration from local compu...

Classical planning approaches of storage allocation decisions are often conducted iteratively with significant manual effort. Warehouse layouts are generated on the basis of planners’ experiences with the target to reduce the operators’ travel distances and thereby to increase productivity. By combining optimization and simulation in a software-based planning tool, a multitude of mathematically...

In today‘s rapidly changing and globally volatile world, manufacturers pay strong efforts on conducting lean production, outsourcing their components, and management on the complex supply chain. Warehouse management plays a vital role to be a successful player in the any kinds of industry which put-away process is a key activity that brings significant influence and challenges to warehouse perf...

The emergence of music recommendation systems calls for the development of new data management technologies able to query vast music collections. In this paper, we define fuzzy song sets and an algebra to manipulate them. We present a music warehouse prototype able to perform efficient nearest neighbor searches in an arbitrary song similarity space. Using fuzzy song sets, the music warehouse of...
