Background: Today, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software is a major tool for strengthening competitiveness. They are an asset that is changing work practices through the rapid circulation of information, the coordination of action and the development of new ways of doing things, rapid access to a wide range of knowledge and the opening up of…

In this article, a fuzzy-based solution of coordination between behaviors of trajectory planning and obstacle avoiding in a RRP-typed SCARA robot control is presented. The first idea of the proposed solution is to divide a robot’s complex behavior into simpler parallel behaviors. The second key idea is a fuzzy-based coordination between these behaviors to make…

PT XYZ has an Enterprise Resource Planning application that is used by the Planning Department to view stocks and plan production materials. Currently calculation of production materials takes more than 30 seconds just to export to Excel then a few minutes to adjust the data format to the planning form and the data used is…

The textile industry is one of the prioritized industries, because it contributes to the country’s foreign exchange, absorbs a large number of workers, and fulfills the need for national clothing. To increase work efficiency and productivity, the textile industry must use ERP. However, ERP implementation still has a relatively high failure rate. ERP readiness assessment…

The emerging trend of modern industry automation requires intelligence to be embedded into mobile robot for ensuring optimal or near-optimal solutions to execute certain task. This yield to a lot of improvement and suggestions in many areas related to mobile robot such as path planning. The purpose of this paper is to review the mobile…

In our era, human and machine must share the same workspace in various plants such as warehouse logistics, material transportation, manufacturing factory or assisted human. The collaboration is essential to maintain the safe operation and the complete mission. In this paper, a design of anti-vibration scheme using Spline generator for grounded vehicle platform in human-machine…

In this paper an offline motion-planning algorithm is presented for robotic manipulators. In this method to solve the path-planning task, the Transition-based Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (T-RRT) algorithm was applied, that requires a cost-function over the search space. The goal of this cost-function is to keep distance between the actual position and configurations that cause collisions.…

The technical and vocational institutions are the key feeders for skilled human capital in the robotic revolution economy. It is essential to engage the students by creating new, affordable robotics at a fraction of the cost. This study presents the design and simulation of a six-axis robot manipulator specifically made for education and training. The…

The problem of planning and location of loading/unloading (L/U) areas attracting interest from several researchers. This is mainly because of the heterogeneity of information and the great complexity of logistics flows. Among the projects of the urban logistics in Morocco, the L/U areas represent an essential importance in the deliveries to the centers of the…

Trade credit is an important cost reduction tool in the inventory management. The effect of trade credit is studied on the integrated system for sharing the cost benefits realized due to the permissible delay. Credit term factor is introduced to divide the cost benefits between the retailer and the supplier. The various costs in the…

Many robots have been proposed for smart applications in recent years However, while these robots have good ability to move between fixed points separated by short distances, they perform less well when required to navigate complex interior spaces with an irregular layout and multiple obstacles due to their relatively crude positioning and path control capabilities.…

The full service life of a technical product or system is usually not completed after an initial failure. With appropriate measures, the system can be returned to a functional state. Availability is an important parameter for evaluating such repairable systems: Failure and repair behaviors are required to determine this availability. These data are usually given…

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are widely used applications to manage resources, communication and data exchange between different departments and modules with the purpose of managing the overall business process of the organization using one integrated software system. Due to the large scale and the complexity nature of these systems, many ERP implementation projects have…

Investment decision-making plays a pivotal role in shaping both individual and institutional economic outcomes. Given the increasing complexity and uncertainty in global markets, optimizing investment decisions has become essential for maximizing returns while managing risks. This work explores modern optimization approaches in investment decision-making, focusing on mathematical modeling techniques such as linear programming (LP), mixed-integer…

While prior research has focused on siloed approaches to equipment replacement, this study introduces an integrated decision-making framework that synergizes predictive maintenance (IoT/M), dynamic multi-criteria analysis (MCDM), and sustainability-driven material selection. By validating this model through cross-sector case studies and strategic operational planning across various industrial sectors. We demonstrate a 30% improvement in replacement timing…

This study presents a novel alternative to traditional Net Energy Metering (NEM) by proposing a set of innovative pricing schemes for solar customers participating in utility-led grid service programs through the aggregation of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). Grounded in cooperative game theory, the proposed framework facilitates equitable and efficient value allocation among key stakeholders, namely…

Traditional project planning in effort and duration estimation techniques remain low to medium accurate. This study seeks to develop a highly reliable and efficient hybrid Machine Learning model that can improve cost and duration prediction accuracy. This experiment compared the performance of five machine learning models across three different datasets and six performance indicators. Then…

This article focuses on risk analysis using a multi-criteria decision-making method. Due to many performed risk analyses for soft targets, we are constantly trying to find new methods for objective risk assessment. Many risk analyses are subjective, which is a problem when planning security measures and comparing results (different events, objects, places, etc.). In this…

Knowledge of pedestrian and vehicle movement patterns can provide valuable insights for city planning. Such knowledge can be acquired via passive outdoor localization of WiFi-enabled devices using measurements of Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) from WiFi probe requests. In this paper, which is an extension of the work initially presented in WiMob 2021, we continue…

As mobile robots or Automated Guided Vehicles age, and their navigation components wear down, downtime may increase, and therefore robots may lose their path planning capabilities. In such blind-navigation scenarios, we assume robot(s) is programmed to undergo a default random-walk locomotion in a two-dimensional confined workspace with spatially populated obstacles. The robot(s) has only one…

Ladysmith is a major economic hub in the uThukela District Municipality. However, it has been experiencing floods almost every year which has resulted in the loss of lives and disruption of business activity within the Ladysmith Central Business District. The main objective of this study was to quantify the land use/cover changes before and after…

This paper addresses the stock management aspect. Through this work, we provide a dynamic model of dimensioning and allocation of stocks to storage location for the automotive industry field. This model takes into consideration all constraints of the supply chain (24 constraints) from the suppliers passing by production, storage up to customer delivery and transport.…

The ecosystems and landscape patterns in Lake Victoria basin are increasingly being modified by changes in land use/land cover. Understanding dynamics of these changes is essential for appropriate planning. This study evaluated changes in landscape environment, of the lakeside counties of the Kenyan Lake Victoria basin, which have occurred over a forty-year period (1978-2018) and…
