The inseparability of science and technology

With the support of leading NURE scientists, a scientific article was published in the international journal “Innovative Technologies and Scientific Solutions for Industries” on the importance of the technologies of Warehousing 4.0 and warehouse management systems in the context of the crucial factors of lean production. The article was co-authored by the owner of KAPELOU, Oleksandr Klymenko.

The team of experts conducted a series of studies:

• Analysis of supply chain management in the smart manufacturing industry and its influence on the achievement of lean production goals;
• comparison of Warehouse 4.0 technologies and warehouse management systems and their impact on the key drivers of Lean Production;
• consideration of the development of warehouse management systems (WMS) as one of the key components to meet the automation requirements in smart manufacturing through group control of mobile robotic platforms.

The study examines how the introduction of new technologies to manage robotic platforms in warehousing 4.0 and warehouse management systems affects the efficiency of lean production. Find out the results and other useful insights at the link provided.

Reference

Warehousing 4.0 is an automated, intelligent warehouse concept for tasks such as automated replenishment of stock, autonomous identification of stock, picking and routing of delivery systems for loading and unloading using group control of autonomous robot vehicles.

Lean Production/Manufacturing – a concept for managing a production facility, whose goal is to reduce all kinds of costs. Important tools: TPM (Total Productive Maintenance), SMED (Single-Minute Exchange of Die), 5S (Sort, Straighten, Shine, Standardize, Sustain) and others.
