| Summary: | This study proposes a new design of an
Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) using
wireless communication. The highlight of this project is
to aid and improve existing warehouse management
system (WMS) that occupies manpower, on-paper data
recording and non-intelligent machines during the
operation. The essence of this project is to implement
wireless technology in controlling ASRS system.
Microcontroller and other electronics modules give
designer the capability to control movement and
rotation of the motor while PIC16F877A programming
aid the ASRS movement based on its condition and
position of each of the parts that move. The
communication between PIC controller and computer
is made by a wireless technology. The motion of the
system is based on three DC motors, one for each
direction of motion X, Y and Z, controlled through PIC
microcontroller. The experiment with the prototype
shows the success in placing the object to the right
destination as requested by the user within shorter time
which reveals the success of this study. This automated
system is highly demanded in large factories such as
automotive factories and mass production companies to
aid inventory management system in the warehouse
and huge storage area due to the time consumption and
dramatic cost reduction factors. |
