ABSTRACT

This design project entitled Automated Storage and Retrieval Management

Systemwas created for automated storage and retrieval of parts and items in

manufacturing, distribution, retail, wholesale and institutions. They focus on bringing

goods to the man rather than manual walking and searching. Space savings,

increased productivity/reduced labour, increased accuracy and reduced

inventory levels are some of the primary benefits. The original idea for this project is

to help people which working in warehouse such as operator who wants to store

and retrieve the drawer (unit loads) into and from cabinet (storage structure). This

project was related to AS/RS (Automated Storage and Retrieval System) which

have been widely used in distribution and productions environment. This project

allows for a range of control strategies and other types to be investigated utilizing

the order generator and the database. There was also a facility developed which

allows this mathematical model to run the actual requirements that the ASRS

physical model works with, this allows for complete correlation between both

models. The development of a mathematical model plus the physical model

ensures better understanding of ASRS making the sequence of operations obvious

and helping to clarify the broad range of strategies to interested parties.

The purpose of conducting this design project is to invent an Automated

Storage and Retrieval Management System to answer the problem for the storing

and retrieving of stocks in every Warehousewith the aid of modern technology.

Adapting and implementing this project will benefit the following people. Owners of

the warehouse, manufacturers, employees, consumers and the future researchers

who will conduct a research related to this project.The function on how to operate

the system, the interfacing and the I/O card and devices is also indicated in this

research.

The Program of Interfacing (customized-forklift-to-computer and computer-

to-transmitter interfacing) is written in Visual Basic 6.0. First, the administrator will

have to login until the correct username and password is encoded and will initialize

the main operation of the system. Then, the program will wait input from theoperator through the keyboard. Then the program will read the correspondingaddress of the input 030AH and compare it to the list of the addresses in the

program.The program uses If-Else-Then Statement.For the storing process, the user will encode first the name and the

description of the stock, and then the program will locate which rack is available

for storing. When the program detects which rack is empty, it will send signal to the

forklift and will automatically store the stock. After storing the stock, it will return

back to its initial position.

And for the retrieving process, the user will press a button that corresponds to

the stock on the GUI which is to be fetched. After pressing the button, the program

will automatically search the storage rack and retrieve the stock and return to its

initial point. On the other hand, the program will only depend on the input

command of the user.

The forklift can only store or retrieve stocks one at a time and will not

generate unless an electrical power is retained. The LED indicator will light up,

indicating that the system is processing. Once a specific button is pressed, the

forklift will automatically store or retrieve stocks on the specified storage box. After

the forklift stored or retrieved the stock it will return to its initial position. The program

will cycle indefinitely.
