Weight optimization is the linear optimization application and application main objective is utilization of the maximum weight and system generates different combination of output based on the max weight limit.

Summary:
This system will work for the material tracking, weight optimization and scheduling of the
dispatch.
For weight optimization, system will consider the capacity of the truck and for the yard
optimization, system consider the location and rules which are given by the customers.
2. Material Weight Optimization and Tracking Solution
Business flow without system:
When truck and material arrive at the entry point, user enters material data in excel/register
manually. User has to manually arrange and find out yard location to store the material. Due to internal
movement of the material, user will have to keep the excel/register updated manually.
For the dispatch planning, user can have the details of free material and truck from the
excel/register. For planning user considers the capacity of the truck and tries to fully allocate it. So that
number of trucks can be reduced.
Now plan and schedule are used for dispatching the material. Based on the plan, user will find out
the material from the yard using excel/register. Updation of excel/register will be done manually at the
output point of the loaded material, that is going to be dispatched.
3. Material Weight Optimization and Tracking Solution
Business flow with system:
At the entry point, barcode / RFID reader will be there so reader will scan the tag which is
available on the truck and material. System will read the tag and automatically generates entry. Other
properties of the material will be entered by the user manually.
System will start to allocate the place for the material in the yard on user command. For finding
place for the material, allocation system will take the help of yard management. Yard management will
find out the best place and nearest place for the material considering rules of user. Work order will be
generated for the material location.
Work order will be generated for the movement of the material. Now the material is available for
dispatch but if crane operator wants to change the place before dispatch then he will take the manual
decision. In this case also, work order has to be generated for internal movement.
For the dispatch, system will take the help of the weight optimization. In the weight optimization
logic, systems will first the take limit of the max capacity of the truck. On that basis, it will optimize up to
maximum limit and suggest the best plan for the dispatch.

4. Material Weight Optimization and Tracking Solution
For the scheduling, system will consider the time and the location. Based on that, it will generate
the dispatch plan and for that also it will consider the location of the truck.
For the release of the dispatch plan, system will generate the work order for the yard management
system and it will suggest the location of the material.
At the outpoint RFID/ Barcode reader will read the data and generate dispatch entry. After that
system doesn’t have dispatch entry.

5. Material Weight Optimization and Tracking Solution
System will take help of below technologies:
Client will be developed using java3d and swing. For communication between client and server it
will use the JMS.
Whatever data will come at the client side that will be sent to sever using JMS and server will
take the data. Based on the message,it will take the action and do the process. Finally it will store it in
database.
For the optimization of the linear program, system will take the help of the lp solver and system
will also use the spring for the dependency injection, security, jdbc and transaction manager for the
database transaction.

6. Material Weight Optimization and Tracking Solution
Benefit of the System:
Reduce man power.
Reduce time for searching material in yard.
Reduce time for the material weight optimization for the dispatch allocation.
Reduce dependency of the material planner.
Reduce the manual entry.
Reduce the manual entry mistakes.
Following are the Logistic Business, where systemwill be established:
Steel Coil, Slab and Plate transportation system.
Packet and movers transportation system.
Cargo ships or airplane transportation system.
Bike or Car manufacturing transportation system.
This system will work, where weight will be the optimization factor in that you can apply this
linear programming.
