摘要
仓库库存管理是一个复杂的过程。当库存包括易腐物品时,这些过程的复杂性就会因额外的要求而变得更加复杂,例如适当的环境储存条件和将一种易腐物品(如香蕉)放置在远离另一种易腐物品(如草莓)的地方。由于易腐物品收获后会在仓库中存放很长时间,因此有必要对仓库库存进行适当管理,以减少因变质而造成的浪费。基于无人机的仓库库存管理越来越受欢迎,这从该领域公司数量和研究出版物数量的不断增加中可见一斑。二十多年来,RFID 标签一直被广泛用于库存管理。虽然无人机已成功应用于非易腐物品仓库,但 RFID 和无人机在易腐物品仓库中的应用还没有得到应有的重视,这一点从该领域缺乏相关出版物可见一斑。本文正是朝着解决这一文献空白的方向迈出的一步。我们考虑使用对象级 RFID 标签和无人机来实现易腐物品仓库库存管理的自动化。我们的分析模型和模拟分析结果表明,这种仓库自动化对仓库经营者及其客户都有好处。
Drone-based warehouse inventory management of perishables
Warehouse inventory management is a complex process. When inventory includes perishables, the complexity of these processes is compounded with additional requirements such as appropriate ambient storage conditions and placement of one type of perishables (e.g., bananas) far away from another type of perishables (e.g., strawberries). With perishables spending a significant amount of time post-harvest in warehouses, appropriate management of warehouse inventory is necessary to reduce wastage due to spoilage. Drone-based warehouse inventory management is gaining popularity as seen in the increasing number of firms in this space as well as the number of research publications. RFID tags have been widely used for inventory management for more than two decades. While drones have been successfully used in warehouses with non-perishables, RFID and drone use in warehouses with perishables has not witnessed its fair share as evidenced by the lack of publications in this general area. This paper is a step in the direction to address this void in published literature. We consider object-level RFID tags and drones to automate warehouse inventory management of perishables. Results from our analytical model and simulation analysis indicate that such warehouse automation is beneficial to both the warehouse operators and their customers.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Production Economics focuses on the interface between engineering and management. It covers all aspects of manufacturing and process industries, as well as production in general. The journal is interdisciplinary, considering activities throughout the product life cycle and material flow cycle. It aims to disseminate knowledge for improving industrial practice and strengthening the theoretical base for decision making. The journal serves as a forum for exchanging ideas and presenting new developments in theory and application, combining academic standards with practical value for industrial applications.
