With China's rapid economic development, electricity supply is relatively shortage, and the contradiction of power coal supply and demand is prominent. In this context, using WITNESS logistics software platforms, this paper establishes a simulation model about a power coal ocean shipping logistics system of a transshipment port as the center, focusing on how to make full use of the existing res...

The current Air Force aircraft logistics system is reactive in nature, meaning that once a fault is detected, maintenance personnel must perform fault isolation procedures and then take steps to repair or replace the faulty item. The Autonomic Logistics System (ALS) concept changes this reactive process into a proactive one. This new approach to the logistics process shows the potential for cos...

This study presents a prototype of the integrated logistic information system (ILIS) in the Google cloud computing environment. The ILIS is purpose to optimize resources in logistics business area, such as vehicles, human resources and fuel. This system is targeting to the small and medium-sized third-party logistics (3PL) company that are difficult to establish IT infrastructure, by providing ...

The importance of logistics has changed enormously in the last few decades. While logistics was formerly one of the core functions of most companies, logistics or at least parts of their functions are nowadays outsourced to external logistic service providers in terms of contracts. As a result of this shift new business models like the fourth party logistics provider emerged, which designs, pla...

In this paper, the design of wireless sensor node is serial communication module with IEEE/ZigBee transmission module to replace the traditional, logistics collected data will be wirelessly sent. The GRPS communication circuit is mainly composed of a power supply circuit, GPRS module, SIM interface circuit and the serial interface circuit part. Its core is the GPRS module. The paper presents ap...

In this paper, we analyzed the influence of IOT and cloud computation on the development of the logistics industry, built the intelligent logistics system on the basis of IOT and cloud computation, analyzed the three-layer architecture of the system and at the end, predicted the great change to be caused by IOT and cloud computation for the logistics industry in the big data era.

Logistics, transportation and distribution engineering can be divided into internal or in-plant logistics and external manufacturing or distribution logistics. The Internal or in-plant logistics includes the material handling systems and storage systems and the external manufacturing or distribution logistics includes the transportation modes such as trains and trucks. Both must be integrated i...

In this paper, after analyzing the predicaments that Chinese traditional logistics enterprises face while launching modern logistics services, the theory of reforming Chinese traditional logistics enterprises with Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is put forward. Then the basic implementation principles are discussed, and the steps of BPR are also analyzed for Chinese logistics enterprises. ...
