A Closed Stockyard UAV Intelligent Inventory System

UAV Flight Control System Based on an Intelligent BEL Algorithm

A novel intelligent control strategy based on a brain emotional learning (BEL) algorithm is investigated in the application of the attitude control of a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in this study. The BEL model imitates the emotional learning process in the amygdala‐ orbitofrontal (A‐O) system of mammalian brains. Here it is used to develop the flight control system of the U...

Inventory Control in Closed Loop Supply Chain using System Dynamics

Inventory control is a fundamental activity in closed loop supply chains, particularly for remanufacturing processes. Several models have been developed in the literature where the aim is mostly to optimize cost or profit and to find the optimal order quantity for an integrated production and remanufacturing system. In this study, we explore a System Dynamics approach in order to model an inven...

Towards the development of an intelligent inventory management system

This paper is concerned with the development of an intelligent inventory management system which aims at bridging the substantial gap between the theory and the practice of inventory management. The proposed system attempts to achieve this by providing automatic demand and lead time pattern identification and model selection facilities. The process of demand pattern identification together with...

The development of an intelligent inventory management system

Development of a UAV-LiDAR System with Application to Forest Inventory

We present the development of a low-cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-Light Detecting and Ranging (UAV-LiDAR) system and an accompanying workflow to produce 3D point clouds. UAV systems provide an unrivalled combination of high temporal and spatial resolution datasets. The TerraLuma UAV-LiDAR system has been developed to take advantage of these properties and in doing so overcome some of the current...
