A Procedure for Optimization of Placement Products in Large Industrial Areas of a Greek Soft Drinks Company

In this paper we present the process of optimal placement of industrial products (pallets) in mapped ware-houses and specifically in a soft drink company in Greece. The optimization criterion is to minimize the cost of moving the lifting machine that places the products in specific positions. The computational method of optimal placement of industrial products receives data from the automatic product count of the mapped warehouse and from the sales predictive model. Therefore, the computational method, having knowledge of the location and number of products in the warehouse and the prediction of sales for each product, places the products produced in an optimal way. Automatic product counting is carried out using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) which developed and applied in soft drink company in Greece. The sales prediction is carried out through a prediction model which developed in a soft drink company in Greece.
