Systemtechnische Ansätze zur Erfüllung neuer Anforderungen an Lagersysteme

Zukünftigen Lagersystemen werden aufgrund gewandelter Anforderungen Eigenschaften abverlangt, die mitunter in einem Widerspruch zueinander stehen. Im Folgenden sollen dazu betrieblich-technische Anforderungen und systemtechnische Lösungsansätze analysiert werden.

Knowledge-Based Task Structure Planning for an Information Gathering Agent

An effective solution to model and apply planning domain knowledge for deliberation and action in probabilistic, agent-oriented control is presented. Specifically, the addition of a task structure planning component and supporting components to an agent-oriented architecture and agent implementation is described. For agent control in risky or uncertain environments, an approach and method of goal reduction to task plan sets and schedules of action is presented. Additionally, some issues related to component-wise, situation-dependent control of a task planning agent that schedules its tasks separately from planning them are motivated and discussed.

Knowledge Management and Leadership in the Higher Education: A First Approach

Today, it is more and more important to develop competences in the learning process of the university students (that is to say, to acquire knowledge but also skills, abilities, attitudes and values). This is because professional practice requires that the future graduates design and market products, defend the interests of their clients, be introduced in the Administration or, even, in the Politics. Universities must form professionals that become social and opinion leaders, consultants, advisory, entrepreneurs and, in short, people with capacity to solve problems. This paper offers a tool to evaluate the application for the professor of different styles of management in the process of the student’s learning. Its main contribution consists on advancing toward the setting in practice of a model that overcomes the limitations of the traditional practices based on the masterful class, and that it has been applied in Portugal and Spain.

The Role of Knowledge Modeling Techniques in Software Development: A General Approach Based on a Knowledge Management Tool

The aim of the paper is to discuss the use of knowledge models to formulate general applications. First, the paper presents the recent evolution of the software field where increasing attention is paid to conceptual modeling. Then, the current state of knowledge modeling techniques is described where increased reliability is available through the modern knowledge acquisition techniques and supporting tools. The KSM (Knowledge Structure Manager) tool is described next. First, the concept of knowledge area is introduced as a building block where methods to perform a collection of tasks are included together with the bodies of knowledge providing the basic methods to perform the basic tasks. Then, the CONCEL language to define vocabularies of domains and the LINK language for methods formulation are introduced. Finally, the object oriented implementation of a knowledge area is described and a general methodology for application design and maintenance supported by KSM is proposed. To illustrate the concepts and methods, an example of system for intelligent traffic management in a road network is described. This example is followed by a proposal of generalization for reuse of the resulting architecture. Finally, some concluding comments are proposed about the feasibility of using the knowledge modeling tools and methods for general application design.

Data capturing: studio di fattibilità per l’acquisizione automatizzata delle informazioni lungo la catena produttiva

Il processo di Data Entry manuale non solo è oneroso dal punto di vista temporale ed economico, lo è ancor di più poiché rappresenta una fonte di errore: per questi motivi, l’acquisizione automatizzata delle informazioni lungo la catena produttiva è un obiettivo fortemente desiderato dal Gruppo per migliorare i propri business. Le tecnologie analizzate, ormai diffuse e standardizzate in ampia scala come barcode, etichette logistiche, terminali in radiofrequenza, possono apportare grandi benefici ai processi aziendali, ancor più integrandole su misura agli ERP aziendali, permettendo una registrazione rapida e corretta delle informazioni e la diffusione immediata delle stesse all’intera organizzazione. L’analisi dei processi e dei flussi hanno evidenziato le criticità e permesso di capire dove e quando intervenire con una progettazione che risultasse quanto più la best suite possibile. Il lancio dei fabbisogni, l’entrata, la mappatura e la movimentazione merci in Magazzino, lo stato di produzione, lo scarico componenti ed il carico di produzione in Confezionamento e Semilavorazione, l’istituzione di un magazzino di interscambio Dogana, un flusso di tracciabilità preciso e rapido, sono tutti eventi che modificheranno i processi aziendali, snellendoli e svincolando risorse che potranno essere reinvestite in operatività a valore aggiunto superiore. I risultati potenzialmente ottenibili, comprovati anche dalle esperienze esterne di fornitori e consulenza, hanno generato le condizioni necessarie ad un rapido studio e start dei lavori: il Gruppo è entusiasta ed impaziente di portare a termine quanto prima il progetto e di andare a regime con la nuova modalità operativa, snellita ed ottimizzata.
