The warehouse is usually built information about warehouse buildings and teach correct according to the shape of land. Choosing a rectangular or a facts with the help of the warehouse simulation software. This square building is a preference. software is free. Also, the software does not need extra workforce, statistics and logistics knowledge and On the exterior shape of the warehouse; we will design and programming language. Thus, the software compares write a program that compares a few simple forms of warehouses easily. warehouses with scientifically utilizing the Information Systems and present it to the use of the logistics sector. This Over the last 15 years, many logistics warehouses have been warehouse will be tested by comparing some exterior shapes built. The majority of these warehouses are rectangular and of warehouses. According to the results obtained from the the doors are on the short side of the rectangle. By looking at program, which warehouse will appear to be more each other, the construction of the depot continued in this way. advantageous for use. The logistics industry can use this These warehouses are not good warehouses in terms of program for their existing depots or new ones to build. It will performance, have been proven by simulation program that be possible to simulate real life in a virtual world, before we developed.

According to Ed Acker “The economics of modern commercial Before the construction phase, a simulation program is warehouses dictate that goods are processed in minimal required to determine which warehouse is the best turnaround time.” (Acker, 2011) warehouse design should be warehouse for the purpose of use. There are many functional and efficient; in order to increase workers simulation programs available. But these programs are not productivity and to reduce the operating costs. © 2018, IRJET | Impact Factor value: 6.171 | ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal | Page 981 International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET) e-ISSN: 2395-0056 Volume: 05 Issue: 02 | Feb-2018 www.irjet.net p-ISSN: 2395-0072 According to Rob O'Byrne “Time is money and distance is time.”, (O'Byrne,2015). It is aimed to make the shortest distance calculation in warehouse simulation program. The Travel Distance Calculation is available in the LM Labor Management module in the SAP ERP system which measures employees in the warehouse. Worker performance is measured with this distance. There are two different ways of measuring distance (SAP). Two methods are used to measure distance: • Euclidean (direct distance) method • Manhattan Meter method (Actual movement distance) Euclidean method; As Figure 1 shows, it measures the shortest distance between two points. Figure-3 A warehouse in Tuzla Istanbul Google 2016 and 2003 benchmark There were many simulation programs before the Figure-1 Euclid warehouses became widespread. Table 1 lists the simulation program examples.

  • Efficient Software Tools in the Renewable Energy Domain: Maple and Maplesim
    EnviroInfo 2013: Environmental Informatics and Renewable Energies Copyright 2013 Shaker Verlag, Aachen, ISBN: 978-3-8440-1676-5 Efficient software tools in the renewable energy domain: Maple and MapleSim Ji ří H řebí ček 1, Jaroslav Urbánek 1,2 Abstract There are presented efficient software tools Maple and MapleSim for solving technical problems in the renewable energy domain using mathematics-based modelling. MapleSim represents the simulation environment, which has a graphical interface for interconnecting system components. The system models are then processed by the Maple (symbolic computation system) mathematics engine, and finally the differential-algebraic equations describing the solved systems are simulated numerically to produce and 2-D, 3-D visualise output results. Maple allows users to quickly focus and reliably solve problems with easy access to over 5000 algorithms and functions developed over 30 years of cutting-edge research and development. In the paper there are presented two solved problems in the renewa- ble energy domain, which are freely downloadable from the web of the Canadian company Maplesoft developing above software tools. 1. Introduction The Canadian company Maplesoft 3 has developed simple and friendly used software tools Maple® 4 and MapleSim® 5 which reduce the cost and effort of developing high-fidelity models of power generation and energy storage systems, including gas and steam turbine generator sets; wind, wave, and solar energy sys- tems and batteries. Maple information technology has been trusted as a cutting edge mathematical and technical tool for over 30 years. In that time, millions of users from around the world have used and relied on the power of Maple for their research, testing, analysis, design, teaching, and schoolwork (Gander/Hřebí ček 2004), (Lynch 2009), (Borwein/Skerritt 2011), (Fox 2011), (Hřebí ček et al 2011), (Hřebí ček 2012).

    Treball Final de Màster MÀSTER EN ENGINYERIA INFORMÀTICA Escola Politècnica Superior Universitat de Lleida Mòdul d’Optimització per a Recursos del Transport Adrià Vall-llaura Salas Tutors: Antonio Llubes, Josep Lluís Lérida Data: Juny 2017 Pròleg Aquest projecte s’ha desenvolupat per donar solució a un problema de l’ordre del dia d’una empresa de transports. Es basa en el disseny i implementació d’un model matemàtic que ha de permetre optimitzar i automatitzar el sistema de planificació de viatges de l’empresa. Per tal de poder implementar l’algoritme s’han hagut de crear diversos mòduls que extreuen les dades del sistema ERP, les tracten, les envien a un servei web (REST) i aquest retorna un emparellament òptim entre els vehicles de l’empresa i les ordres dels clients. La primera fase del projecte, la teòrica, ha estat llarga en comparació amb les altres. En aquesta fase s’ha estudiat l’estat de l’art en la matèria i s’han repassat molts dels models més importants relacionats amb el transport per comprendre’n les seves particularitats. Amb els conceptes ben estudiats, s’ha procedit a desenvolupar un nou model matemàtic adaptat a les necessitats de la lògica de negoci de l’empresa de transports objecte d’aquest treball. Posteriorment s’ha passat a la fase d’implementació dels mòduls. En aquesta fase m’he trobat amb diferents limitacions tecnològiques degudes a l’antiguitat de l’ERP i a l’ús del sistema operatiu Windows. També han sorgit diferents problemes de rendiment que m’han fet redissenyar l’extracció de dades de l’ERP, el càlcul de distàncies i el mòdul d’optimització.
