Cold Storage Warehouse Best Practices: Forecasting & End-to-End Temperature M...Angela Carver
As products evolve and consumer demands change cold storage warehouse space is a more critical branch of the supply chain than ever. Products being stored in these refrigerated warehouses include frozen and refrigerated food, pharmaceuticals, petro-chemicals and high-tech electronics. Many of these products are strictly regulated by government agencies such as the FDA. To maintain compliant with these regulations many cold storage operations are focusing on implementing industry best practices. A top priority has continued to be temperature forecasting and monitoring and technology upgrades.
Forecasting temperature demand helps businesses operating in the cold chain to accommodate to changes in product demand and the financial implications. Completing inventory forecasts often will help to give your business a clear understanding of storage space requirements and what changes can be made the make the most of your existing facility space.
One way cold storage warehouses are making the most of their space is by implementing temporary curtains that allow them to break up facility space in order to create, expand or reduce the square footage of temperature zones. The flexibility of this tool helps refrigerated warehouse operators to reduce energy consumption while also ensuring temperature consistency to avoid spoiling.
In an effort to avoid the average 6 recalls that occur in the U.S. each day cold storage warehouses are implementing new and cutting edge technologies to aid in the tracking and monitoring of inventory temperature and condition. These tools include: thermometers for manual QA readings on an inventory or temperature zone level, RFID tags for passive temperature monitoring and location identification, data loggers for in-transit deliveries direct-to-customer, smart shipping containers for LTL and FTL shipments, and WMS for a centralized data collection and storage database. All of these tools used in varying combinations can help cold storage warehouses to reduce costs, improve data accuracy, guarantee product quality and maintain regulatory compliance.
Evaluate how these technologies can help your refrigerated warehouse implement industry best practices in temperature monitoring and tracking and solve any pre-existing QA issues today.

A warehouse management system (WMS) is a key part of the Supply Chain. Warehouse management systems often utilize automatic identification and data capture technology, such as barcode Scanners, mobile computers, wireless LANs and potentially radio frequency identification (RFID) to efficiently monitor the flow of products. Once data has been collected, there is either a batch synchronization with, or a real-time wireless transmission to a central database. The database can then provide useful reports about the status of goods in the warehouse.
key part of the supply chain and primarily aims to control the movement and storage of materials within a warehouse and process the associated transactions, including shipping, receiving, put away and picking. The systems also direct and optimize stock put away based on real-time information about the status of bin utilization. Warehouse management systems often utilize Auto ID Data Capture (AIDC) technology, such as barcode scanners, mobile computers, wireless LANs and potentially Radio-frequency identification (RFID) to efficiently monitor the flow of products. Once data has been collected, there is either batch synchronization with, or a real-time wireless transmission to a central database. The database can then provide useful reports about the status of goods in the warehouse. Warehouse Management monitors the progress of products through the warehouse. It involves the physical warehouse infrastructure, tracking systems, and communication between product stations. Warehouse management deals with receipt, storage and movement of goods, normally finished goods, to intermediate storage locations or to final customer. In the multi-echelon model for distribution, there are levels of warehouses, starting with the Central Warehouse(s), regional warehouses services by the central warehouses and retail warehouses at the third level services by the regional warehouses and so on.
Supply Chain & Logistics Basics: The Automotive Supply ChainAngela Carver
Despite the economic downturn, the U.S. automotive supply chain has seen significant growth. Sales volume increased from 10 million to 15.6 million units between 2009 and 2013. These unit increases can be associated not only to improvements in economy, but solid efforts to implement industry best practices to solve supply chain challenges. Some of the top challenges faced by the automotive supply chain include inability to adapt to fluctuations in demand due to capacity constraints, financial constraints due to lack of liquidity, supply chain complexity increases with the globalization of the supply chain, qualified labor shortages and lack of information visibility with legacy technologies. Outdated supplier technology is present most often in tier 2 suppliers such as metal stampers and die casters. Lack of production management systems causes significant delays for OEMs and downstream supply chain partners.
According to the Global Supply Chain Survey 2013 automotive industry leaders plan to focus on both continuous improvement efforts relating to production efficiency and inventory management. Focusing on improving these areas can help to reduce costs and increase supplier collaboration. The top four areas of focus identified in this study were cost minimization, delivery performance, volume flexibility and complexity management. This is where industry best practices come into play. To address these issues automotive supply chain operators are implementing EDI/ASN to more effectively manage inbound shipment schedules and facility staffing. The information gleaned from this change allows these businesses to be proactive rather than reactive. Supply chain managers are also implementing documentation management protocols in order to comply with regulations and improve recall execution. In response to omni-channel retailing the automotive supply chain is also now aggregating orders into once centralized location such as a warehouse management system (WMS). This provides fulfillment centers with a more holistic view of inventory data. With this more accurate view of data, supply chain operations can also reduce on-hand inventory and focus on a just-in-time (JIT) replenishment strategy. This helps to reduce costs creating savings that can be passed on to customers. Transportation routing and other analytics are also being used to make data more accessible to all key supply chain players, including customers.

Automobile Management System Project Report.pdfKamal Acharya
The proposed project is developed to manage the automobile in the automobile dealer company. The main module in this project is login, automobile management, customer management, sales, complaints and reports. The first module is the login. The automobile showroom owner should login to the project for usage. The username and password are verified and if it is correct, next form opens. If the username and password are not correct, it shows the error message.
When a customer search for a automobile, if the automobile is available, they will be taken to a page that shows the details of the automobile including automobile name, automobile ID, quantity, price etc. “Automobile Management System” is useful for maintaining automobiles, customers effectively and hence helps for establishing good relation between customer and automobile organization. It contains various customized modules for effectively maintaining automobiles and stock information accurately and safely.
When the automobile is sold to the customer, stock will be reduced automatically. When a new purchase is made, stock will be increased automatically. While selecting automobiles for sale, the proposed software will automatically check for total number of available stock of that particular item, if the total stock of that particular item is less than 5, software will notify the user to purchase the particular item.
Also when the user tries to sale items which are not in stock, the system will prompt the user that the stock is not enough. Customers of this system can search for a automobile; can purchase a automobile easily by selecting fast. On the other hand the stock of automobiles can be maintained perfectly by the automobile shop manager overcoming the drawbacks of existing system.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

2. INTRODUCTION
A ‘Warehouse Management System' (WMS) is a key part of the supply chain and
primarily aims to control the movement and storage of materials within a
warehouse and process the associated transactions, including shipping,
receiving, put away and picking. Warehouse management is an aspect of logistics
and supply chain management. More precisely, warehouse management involves
the receipt, storage and movement of goods, (normally finished goods), to
intermediate storage locations or to a final customer. In the multi-echelon model
for distribution, there may be multiple levels of warehouses. Everywhere, there
needs to be a lot of employees or workers.
3. Through this project, we are researching
and building on an autonomous robot
which does all the warehouse
management tasks and thus enabling the
industries to have
• A better and automatic warehouse
management
• Improved efficiency
• Time management
• Reduction in errors
• Reduce human work load
• Lesser human resource requirement
4. EXISTING TECHNOLOGY
Current technology involves manual machines, human labour, or even semi-
autonomous robots to do the warehouse works.
The main problem with all these existing
technologies are
*Cost *Time *Human Resources
5. AIM OF PROJECT

14. “THE BRAIN” : MICROCONTROLLERS
A microcontroller is a small computer (SoC) on a single integrated circuit
containing a processor core, memory, and programmable input/output
peripherals.
Fire Bird V microcontroller adapter board has two microcontrollers.
ATMEGA2560 (master microcontroller)
ATMEGA8 (slave) microcontroller.
They communicates using a SPI bus.
15. ATMEGA 2560
• The high-performance, low-power Atmel 8-bit AVR RISC-based
microcontroller combines 256KB ISP flash memory, 8KB SRAM, 4KB EEPROM,
86 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers, real time
counter, six flexible timer/counters with compare modes, PWM, 4 USARTs,
byte oriented 2-wire serial interface, 16-channel 10-bit A/D converter, and a
JTAG interface for on-chip debugging. The device achieves a throughput of 16
MIPS at 16 MHz and operates between 4.5-5.5 volts.
• By executing powerful instructions
in a single clock cycle, the device
achieves a throughput approaching 1
MIPS per MHz, balancing power
consumption and processing speed.
16. ATMEGA8 SLAVE MICROCONTROLLER
• Fire Bird V robot can be
interfaced with more than 30
sensors at the same time.
• ATMEGA2560 does not have
sufficient number of ADC
available of sensor interfacing.
18. ROBOTIC COMMUNICATION
1. Serial Communication
• Robot has 9pin female DB9 connector
for serial communication. Out of these
9 pins only Tx (pin 3) Rx (pin 2) and
ground (pin 5) are connected to the
microcontroller via MAX202 RS232 to
serial TTL / CMOS logic converter.
19. 2. ROBOT CONTROL USING RS232 SERIAL PORT
UART1 of the ATMEGA2560 microcontroller is connected to the serial port
via MAX202 UART to RS232 converter.
ROBOTIC COMMUNICATION
20. 3. USB COMMUNICATION
Fire Bird V’s main board has USB
port socket. Microcontroller
accesses USB port via main board
socket. All its pins are connected to
the microcontroller adapter board
via main board's socket connector.
ROBOTIC COMMUNICATION
21. SENSORS
A sensor is an object whose purpose is to detect events or changes in its
environment, and then provide a corresponding output. A sensor is a type of
transducer.
Different Types of Sensors Used are:
Sharp IR Sensors
Infrared Proximity Sensor
White Line Follower
Colour Sensors
22. SHARP IR SENSORS
Used For accurate distance measurement
Upto 5 IR range sensors can be used
Consists of IR LED and linear CCD array, both
encapsulated in the housing with precision lens
assembly mounted in front of them.
23.
24. • IR LED transmits a narrow IR beam.
• Light hits the obstacle and reflects
back to the linear CCD array.
• Depending on the distance from the
obstacle, angle of the reflected light
varies.
• This angle is measured using the
CCD array to estimate distance from
the obstacle.
• Distance is function of the angle of
reflection and not on the reflected
light intensity.
HOW IT WORKS?
25. INFRARED PROXIMITY SENSORS
Used to detect proximity of any
obstacles in the short range.
Upto 10cm sensing range.
These sensors sense the presence of
the obstacles in the blind spot region
of the Sharp IR range sensors.
Fire Bird V robot has 8 IR proximity
sensors.
26. WHITE LINE SENSOR:
• Used for detecting white line on the
• ground surface.
• Used to give robot sense of localization
• Consists of a highly directional photo transistor for line sensing and bright red
LED for the illumination. Due to the directional nature of the photo diode it does
not get affected with ambient light unless it is very bright.
28. COLOUR SENSORS:
• It checks for the colour of the package.
• If the pulses value of all the colours are below the threshold
value, 1600 say, then the package is said to be of black
colour and the package is left unpicked.
• If the pulses value of red is more, then the package is of red
colour and the package is picked and placed in the
respective deposition zone.
• If the pulses value of green is more, then the package is of
green colour and the package is picked and placed in the
respective deposition zone.
• If the pulses value of blue is more, then the package is of
blue colour and the package is picked and placed in the
respective deposition zone.
• Thus, colour of the package is detected.
30. INDICATORS
Buzzer
• A 3 KHz piezo buzzer is used.
• It can be used for debugging purpose or as attention seeker for a particular event.
• Also used for battery monitoring circuit to alert the battery low indication.
• The buzzer is connected to PC3 pin of the microcontroller. Also the same buzzer is
32. INDICATORS
Bargraph LED display
It is used for quick debugging purpose. It is connected to the PORTJ of the
ATMEGA2560 microcontroller. To enable bargraph jumper J3 needs to be
connected.
33. MOTION CONTROL
• It has 75 RPM DC geared motors in differential drive configuration
along with the third caster wheel for the support.
• Robot has top speed of about 24cm per second. Using this
configuration, the robot can turn with zero turning radius by rotating
one wheel in clockwise direction and other in counter clockwise
direction. Position encoders are mounted on both the motor’s axles to
give a position feedback to the microcontroller.
34. • Motion control involves velocity and direction control.
• Motors are controlled by L293D dual motor driver (600mA of current).
• To change the direction of the motor, appropriate logic levels
(High/Low) are applied to L293D’s direction control pins.
• Velocity control is done using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM).
• LEDs are connected at the input stage of the motor driver for quick
interpretation of the motion commands
35. PULSE WIDTH MODULATION FOR
VELOCITY CONTROL
• Pulse width modulation is a process in which
duty cycle of constant frequency square wave
is modulated to control power delivered to the
load i.e. motor.
• Duty cycle is the ratio of ‘TON/ T’. Where ‘TON’ is
ON time and ‘T’ is the time period of the wave.
Power delivered to the motor is proportional to
the ‘TON’ time of the signal. In case of PWM the
motor reacts to the time average of the signal.
• PWM is used to control total amount of power
delivered to the load without power losses
which generally occur in resistive methods of
power control.
36. POSITION ENCODERS
• Position encoders give position / velocity feedback to the robot.
• It is used in closed loop to control robot’s position and velocity.
• Position encoder consists of slotted disc which rotates between optical
encoder (optical transmitter and receiver).
• When slotted disc moves in between the optical encoder we get square
wave signal whose pulse count indicates position and time period /
frequency indicates velocity.
37. • Optical encoder MOC7811 is used as position encoder on the robot.
• It consists of IR LED and the photo transistor mounted in front of each other
separated by a slot and encased in black opaque casing and facing each
other through narrow window.
• When IR light falls on the photo transistor it gets in to saturation and gives
logic 0 as the output. In absence of the IR light it gives logic 1 as output.
• A slotted encoder disc is mounted on the wheel is placed in between the slot
of MOC7811. When encoder disc rotates it cuts IR illumination alternately
because of which photo transistor gives square pulse train as output. Output
from the position encoder is cleaned using Schmitt trigger based inverter
(not gate) IC CD40106.
38. CALCULATION OF POSITION ENCODER RESOLUTION
When Robot is moving forward or backward (encoder resolution is in mm)
Wheel diameter: 5.1cm
Wheel circumference: 5.1cm * 3.14 = 16.014cm = 160.14mm
Number slots on the encoder disc: 30
Position encoder resolution: 163.2 mm / 30 = 5.44mm / pulse.
39. POWERING UP FIRE BIRD V
• It can be powered by Battery Power or Auxiliary Power
• Rechargeable 9.6V, 2.1Ah Nickel Metal Hydride battery
• The battery voltage can vary between 12V (fully charged) to 8V
(discharged). Battery pack should not be discharged below 8V (1V per cell)
for extended battery life.
40. POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
It performs following functions.
• Battery voltage monitoring and Smart battery charging
• Regulated supply for on-board payload
• Battery current sensing
Power management block provides power to the microcontroller, other devices
and the power to the servo motor.
ATMEGA2560 microcontroller adapter board has two low drop voltage
regulators:
• “5V uC” supplies power to the microcontroller and its peripherals.
• “5V servo” supplies power to the servo motor.
42. ACTUATORS USED
1. DC Motors
A DC motor is any of a class of electrical machines that converts direct current
electrical power into mechanical power.
A DC motor's speed can be controlled over a wide range, using either a variable
supply voltage or by changing the strength of current in its field windings.
When we supply power, a DC motor will start spinning until that power is
removed. Most DC motors run at a high RPM (revolutions per minute). The speed
of DC motors is controlled using pulse width modulation (PWM), a technique of
rapidly pulsing the power on and off. The percentage of time spent cycling the
on/off ratio determines the speed of the motor then the motor will spin at half the
speed of 100%. Each pulse is so rapid that the motor appears to be continuously
spinning with no stuttering.
43. ACTUATORS USED
Advantages of DC motors
1. Speed control over a wide range both above and below the rated speed
2. High starting torque
3. Accurate steep less speed with constant torque
4. Quick starting, stopping, reversing and acceleration
5. Free from harmonics, reactive power consumption
Disadvantages of DC motors
1. High initial cost
2. Increased operation and maintenance cost due to presence of commutator and
brush gear
3. Cannot operate in explosive and hazard conditions due to sparking occur at
brush ( risk in commutation failure)
44. ACTUATORS USED
Servo motors
• It is a rotary actuator or linear actuator that allows for precise control of
angular or linear position, velocity and acceleration.
• Consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor for position feedback.
• It also requires a relatively sophisticated controller, often a dedicated module
designed specifically for use with servomotors
• Servomechanism is a closed-loop mechanism that uses position feedback to
control its motion and final position.
45. ACTUATORS USED
Servo motors
• Servo motors are generally an assembly of four things: a DC motor, a gearing set,
a control circuit and a position-sensor (usually a potentiometer).
• Servo motors do not rotate freely like a standard DC motor. Instead the angle
of rotation is limited to 180 Degrees (or so) back and forth.
• Servo motors receive a control signal that represents an output position and
applies power to the DC motor until the shaft turns to the correct position,
determined by the position sensor.
46. ACTUATORS USED
Stepper motors
• A stepper motor is essentially a servo motor that uses a different method of
motorization.
• A servo motor uses a continuous rotation DC motor and integrated controller
circuit, where as, stepper motors utilize multiple toothed electromagnets
arranged around a central gear to define position.
• Stepper motors are available in two varieties; unipolar or bipolar. Bipolar
motors are the strongest type of stepper motor.
• The design of the stepper motor provides a constant holding torque without
the need for the motor to be powered and, provided that the motor is used
within its limits, positioning errors don’t occur, since stepper motors have
physically pre-defined stations.
47. ACTUATORS USED
Servo motor Stepper Motor
Consumes power as it rotates to the
commanded position but then it rests
It runs warm to the touch because they
continue to consume power to lock in
and hold the commanded position
Imparts High Performance Performace low compared to servo
motor
Cost is High Low Cost Compared to Servo Motor
Has the ability to control position Not so good at positioning
Considered when high performance of
importance
Considered to save cost
48. ARENA ANALYSIS
• For the demonstration purpose, we have designed an arena which
represents the simplified abstraction of a warehouse. The arena
specifications are as follows:-
• There are 12 pick-up points marked on the arena. Packages of different
types represented by blocks of colours Red, Blue, Green or Black will be
placed on these pick-up points. A pick-up point may or may not contain a
package.
• The deposition zones are indicated by 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in the arena. The
black line on the arena is the line along which the robot will navigate its
path.
49.

51. WORKING MECHANISM
NAVIGATION SCHEME
• The white line sensors are used for line following mechanism
• At first, the robot senses the block present to its immediate left and places
it in one of its nearest deposition zones
• It then moves to the next nearest pick-up point and follows the above
mechanism for deposition
• The gripper is used to hold the block firmly
• The arm mechanism makes sure the block placing is within the deposition
zone
52. • If the colour sensor senses the block to be black then it just buzzers
for a second and moves to the next nearest pick-up point
• A counter is maintained for each deposition zone to note the number
of blocks deposited in it, If the blocks are 2 then no more are
deposited in it
• If there is no free deposition-sites present for a block it is left
unpicked
• IR proximity sensors are used for calculating the distance between the
bot and the block
WORKING MECHANISM
NAVIGATION SCHEME
53. • It is made the robot stops at an appropriate distance from the block
to sense the colour and pick it up using the arm
• If the deposition zone is the fifth one it moves to approximately the
nearest one from there
• A note is also made whether a pick-up site is already tested or not
• Once visited pick-up sites are not re-visited
• Continuous buzzer is blown after the completion of the task
WORKING MECHANISM
NAVIGATION SCHEME
54. CHALLENGES & FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS
Battery Life
The Robot has limited battery life. Using Solar panels can be used in case
of outdoor uses. Wireless Charging can also be a solution in future.
Proper lighting conditions for colour sensing
Currently, Colour Sensor has to be calibrated for different lighting
conditions. Placing a light source with colour sensor can rectify it to a
limit. In future, an auto colour sensor calibration mechanism have to be
made.
55. Avoiding Collision
In case of multiple robots used in the same place, a robot inter-collision
avoiding mechanism have to be designed. Integration of Swarm Robotics
(Robots communicate each other) is one of the probable solutions.
Obstacle Avoidance
If any obstacle is on the path of robot (Like a misplaced or fallen
warehouse package), A Mechanism to avoid them and to choose an
alternate path, have to be designed and built in future.
CHALLENGES & FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS
56. Power consumption by Motors
Major power consumer in the setup are the actuators used in arm and
motors for movement. We have to optimise the power consumption of such
motors, Balancing the Dc motors and power of gravity to lift and keep the
objects up. Such efficient optimisation can help the batteries to long last.
Robotic arms
The robotic arm has a limited degrees of freedom. A more complex arm, can
have a wide variety of movements in different directions. Future design of
more advanced arm mechanism can increase the speed of operation and
efficiency.
CHALLENGES & FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS
57. Navigation Techniques
Currently used Black line following is not appropriate for all purposes,
especially outside uses. Position based encoding is also a solution but it
become difficult to modify the uses and tasks. GPS enabled robots may be
used in future.
No End User Interface
At present, there isn’t any end user interface where the user can input the
details such as where the objects have to be placed. So an easier data input
method have to be designed in future.
58. FUTURE SCOPE
• Warehouse Management Purposes
• Household purposes: - For keeping the household things in appropriate places.
• Road safety purposes: - For placing traffic dividers, traffic cones in appropriate
places on road.
• For military purposes: - Depositing weapons in tactical places, Picking bombs
and detonators and disposing them are important applications of these type of
robots in military.
• For Courier Services:- A GPS enabled robot can do the courier service.
• For Newspaper Distribution:- Different Newspapers can be distributed at
different localities
59. CONCLUSION
The benefits of warehouse robotics include:-
• Improved Productivity and efficiency without adding labour
• Reduced Labour And Operational Costs
• Increased in Inventory Control and accuracy
• Enable increased order throughput
• Increase capability to meet future business requirements
• More visibility within the warehouse

60. Our proposed Warehouse Management System has the following unique
features:-
• Real-Time
• Parallel, Random Access to all locations in the warehouse
• Simultaneous Picking and Put-away
• Combination of Storage, Movement and Sortation in one Equipment
• Customizable, Modular And Flexible System
