Logistics in agricultural production

Agricultural Production

Agricultural production is not keeping up with the world demand for food because the human population is increasing faster than agriculture’s food production capability (Pimentel et al., 1999). Uneven distribution of food, the inability of the poor to purchase food, and political unrest also threaten world food security for human society. Currently, more than 3 billion humans worldwide are maln...

Detection of Sulfite Content in Agricultural Products Logistics Technology Research

In today’s real life, from the perspective of the logistics quality of agricultural products, there are many problems are paid attention by social people, such as mushroom. Mushroom products in China’s exports have repeatedly been reported because of containing more sulfur dioxide in recent years. Also the dried mushroom exports were notified by nine times. Mushroom in the life is one of the pe...

Cooperative Control in Production and Logistics

Classical applications of control engineering and information and communication technology (ICT) in production and logistics are often done in a rigid, centralized and hierarchical way. These inflexible approaches are typically not able to cope with the complexities of the manufacturing environment, such as the instabilities, uncertainties and abrupt changes caused by internal and external dist...

Dynamics of Autonomous Control in Production Logistics

The paper gives an overview of the modeling and analysis of autonomous control strategies for production logistics. A universal shop floor model, built with Vensim DSS, is introduced. AC strategies are discussed and implemented. The particularities of modeling a production logistic scenario are presented. Based on the simulation results the logistics performance as well as the influence on the ...
