Hybrid approach for modeling and control warehouse systems

Authors:   Filippo Sarri,Rinaldo Rinaldi

Abstract

The aim of this paper is twofold firstly we define a dynamical model for representing warehouse?s product flows, taking into account both customer demands and stocked quantities. Secondly we introduce an automatic controller regulating products handling into the inventory structure, which aims to guarantee the satisfaction of customer demands as well as maintaining safety stocks. The proposed work is based on hybrid approach for dynamical system definition and control, developed using dedicated informatics tools. This tool is developed to improve optimal control for real systems, such as car traction control and chemical processes. In this paper we use this tool to approach a warehouse management problem improving an optimal control algorithm.
