Automation of Warehouse Parameters Calculation and Its Sketch Design

Abstract

Warehouses in enterprises are a key element in ensuring the stability of production activities, particularly in terms of efficient supply chain and production process management. Proper selection and accurate calculation of warehouse parameters help reduce storage costs, which is an important and relevant task. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze warehouse system parameters and develop a computer program for their automated calculation. The practical significance of this task is justified by the widespread practice of warehouse use in various industries and the necessity for their rational operation. Warehouse Calculator is the new software, which create a sketch of a warehouse with pallet racks according to the specified input and output parameters. Its main task is to generate a database of calculation results and to build a sketch for the warehouse design documentation. The program algorithm calculates the warehouse area, its geometric dimensions (length, width, and height), considering user-input values and sizes, which are described in this paper. It also includes the calculation of columns. When starting a new calculation, standardized data is displayed by default in all fields. These values can be adjusted based on the individual problem and modified at any stage of its solving.
