Abstract

The methodology for precise routing through a sophisticated system will be discussed in detail. The integrated system includes a host computer system running a sophisticated database manipulation package, a gantry system, and ancillary equipment that includes a programmable logic controller (PLC) controlling several pieces of equipment, barcode readers used for human interface, and scales. The host system and gantry will be presented, and a canned package used for database manipulation will be described. The method of historical data collection will be demonstrated. An algorithm for determining permitted subsequent part routes with respect to the present part location will also be described in detail. The integrated system will be presented and discussed to demonstrate the benefits of automated inventory control.
