Supplying of Assembly Lines Using Train of Trucks

Abstract

Abstract:The typical supply system conceptions, i.e. the concepts "Just-in-time" (JIT) and "Just-in-sequence" (JIS) are very important factors with regard to a fluent operation of the assembly lines. Therefore the contemporary intra plant transport systems are being replaced by a new kind of the transportation technology, namely by means of the trains of trucks. The trains of trucks are used in two possible operational modes: either with a driver or without driver (fully automated). The trucks of the logistic trains are also cheaper and they are able to carry a larger volume and mass of the material at once. There are reduced in this way not only the investment costs, but also the operational expenses.

Proposal for Streamlining the Railway Infrastructure Capacity on the Specific Track Section in the Context of Establishing an Integrated Transport System

“…Double-tracking the whole section from the Prešov station to Kysak station represents next design measure. This most demanding measure in terms of investments also has the most favorable impact on the whole section capacity, while the permeability would increase from the original 96 trains per day in both directions to 180 trains per day in both the even and the odd direction [25][26][27].…”

Draft Deployment of Traction Units with Active Tilting System for Regional and Long-distance Transport on Non-modernized Railway Tracks

“…As for the calculation of new qualitative indicators acquired after implementing the units with tilting system into operation, three basic types of passenger trains of category express train (Ex), long distance fast train (F) and commuter local passenger train (Ps) are proposed, and therefore, existing trains, which are operated under the current timetable regardless of their regularity, are supposed to be deployed [15][16][17].…”

Minimizing the Risks in the Storage of Metallurgical Material

“… using semi-automated or fully automated system,  minimizing necessary operator presence,  minimizing the number of operators [1].…”

“…Storage is an integral part of logistics that involves a fairly wide range of problem areas [1]. It serves as an important link between manufacturers and customers [2,3].…”
