Cross docking is a material handling and distribution concept in which products move directly from receiving dock to shipping dock, without being stored in a warehouse or distribution center. Depending on the facility and operating conditions or strategies employed, it is possible to generate various cross docking scenarios or models. The cross docking model, which is studied in this research, assumes there are a separate receiving dock and a separate shipping dock. It is also assumed that the products contained in a receiving truck and the products needed for a shipping truck are known in advance. Furthermore, the study is restricted to scenarios where there is only one receiving dock and only one shipping dock at the warehouse. The research objective is to find the best truck spotting sequence for both receiving and shipping trucks to minimize total operation time (i.e., the makespan) of the cross docking system.

As the business-to-customer (B2C) online market expands after the COVID-19 pandemic, the logistics industry has been constructing automated warehouses to handle multi-product, low-volume logistics. When constructing a logistics automation warehouse, it is crucial to validate that the facility's performance and operational logic are designed to meet the required throughput of the automated warehouse from the system design phase. This study proposes simulation-based validation and optimal alternatives for an H logistics automation warehouse in Iksan, Jeollabuk-do. Firstly, we focused on the box supply and packing processes, which are related to the release process, among the entire logistic processes. Then, we analyzed the potential bottlenecks in the target process and designed and implemented a discrete-event simulation model based on the analysis results. The simulation experiments showed that the facility parameters and operational logic identified in the system design phase did not satisfy the performance requirements of the entire automated warehouse. Additional experiments were conducted to suggest alternatives to meet the system performance requirements by changing the facility parameters and operational logic. We expect that the proposed study will be utilized in the future, not only in the system design phase but also in the system construction phase, for verification purposes to ensure that the construction proceeds according to the design.

The volume of the world's container transportation has been increasing. To serve this transportation need, the size of the container carrier is getting larger. The global ports are required to deepen the waterways as well as to prepare infrastructure to serve these super-size container carriers. However, few ports around the world could meet the requirements. To solve these difficulties, the concept of the Mobile Harbor has been developed. An onboard Automatic Storage and Retrieval System(AS/RS) has been proposed for the B1 type Mobile Harbor to maximize the container throughput within the limited space of the Mobile Harbor. A scenario of operations and freight movements of the B1 type Mobile Harbor is prepared and the storage size of the B1 type Mobile Harbor through the computer simulation is estimated. The size of the Mobile Harbor and the size of the AS/RS has also been estimated. The optimized size of the Mobile Harbor could be proposed.

현재 사용되고 있는 냉동창고 재고관리 프로그램은 폐쇄 클라이언트 서버 환경에서 운용되고 있어 유지보수에 많은 비용과 인력이 소요될 뿐만 아니라 소비자인 화주에게 제공되는 서비스가 전무하며, 기본적인 수 발주를 위해서 팩스나 전화를 이용하므로 업무가 비효율적이며 오류와 부정확성 등의 문제가 발생하고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 다양한 모바일 운영체제에서 화주에게 서비스를 제공하는 모바일 웹앱을 설계하고 구현한다. 구현된 시스템에서 화주는 다양한 모바일기기를 이용하여 수 발주 업무, 재고량 조회 등의 서비스를 제공받아 업무를 처리할 수 있어 사용자만족도를 향상시켰다. 또한 모바일 운영체제에 독립적인 웹앱의 형태로 제공되어 사용자의 다양한 모바일 기기에서 운영될 수 있으며 실시간으로 유지보수를 제공할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

Various application systems are developed using RFID as a part of ubiquitous computing, and it is expected that RFID chip will become wide-spread for the distribution industry especially. Efficient and efact intelligent-type of warehouse management system is essential for small-to-medium-sized enterprises in the situation having a trouble in the viewpoint of expense and manpower. In this paper, we implement small-scale warehouse management system using log-based context awareness technology. This system is implemented to be controlled on web, configuring clients to control RFID readers and building up DBMS system in a server. Especially, it grasps user's intention of storing or delivering based on toE data for the history of user's access to the system and it reports user's irregular pattern of warehouse use and serves predictive information of the control of goods in stock. As a result, the proposed system can contribute to enhance efficiency and correctness of small-scale warehouse management.

In this paper, we developed a WMS (Warehouse Management System) Simulator. There is no Simulator that supports optimized design for Warehouse, consider goods which storage in warehouse and using RFID and USN based on cable wireless network. Also, there is no tool for monitoring which decides delivery time with information about temperature, humidity and illumination, after goods are stocked into warehouse. In this paper, WMS Simulator Implements function of drawing a blueprint. The Simulator that can analyze moving information of Palette with RFID tags and the change about temperature, humidity and illumination is developed in this paper. Inventory accuracy, space equipment practical use, and decreasing of picking time, faulty storage and product loss by product processing ability elevation are expected by designing the way of operating of warehouse for most suitable use of system in physical distribution through these treatise.

The rapid development of IT and Science & Technology has greatly influenced the aspect of future warfare. Accordingly, the Army Forces require efficient logistics support, hence the importance of AS/RS has steadily increased. This research validated mathematical propriety of the management problem of S/R machine in AS/RS with mathematical analysis based on its travel time and simulation analysis using Automod. After all, we could improve the performance of S/R machine based on its dwell point and turn-over distribution.

This study presents an Automated Warehouse Management System (AWMS) using a bar-code system The AWMS has been designed to be associated with an Integrated Production Management System (IPMS), which basically includes the following four modules i.e the sales management, production management, material management, and data management. Now, whenever storage or retrieval of the material occurs in the warehouse, the events could be processed quickly and accurately only through reading the 13 digit bar-code including 5 digit position code and simply typing in the number of material. Consequently, the AWMS associated with IPMS could automatically coincide the item counts on document with those in the warehouse. Also, this makes it possible to identify the material quantities in real time.

크로스도킹이란 창고나 물류센터에 하역된 물품이 저장됨이 없이 도착지별로 재분류되어서 직출하되는 물류 시스템이다. 크로스도킹은 물류비용의 큰 비중을 차지하는 보관비용을 감소시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 고객의 요구에 빠른 대응을 할 수 있다는 장점을 지니고 있다. 크로스도킹이 성공적으로 수행되기 위해서는 창고나 물류센터의 입고에서부터 출고까지의 모든 작업들이 계획적이고 원활하게 수행되어져야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 임시보관 장소를 보유하지 않은 크로스도킹 시스템의 총 운영시간을 최소화하기 위한 입고 트럭과 출고 트럭의 일정계획 수립을 위한 수학적 모델을 개발하였다.
