for instance, the one developed by Rushton et al., (2010) for storage systems. Two types of storage equipment are selected. The fast and medium moving items, due to the fact that in average more than one pallet per SKU is stored, will be stored on back-to-back single deep and wide aisle racking. Twenty lines of racks are needed and the dimensions of each pair are: height=6.5m, length=100m and width=2.4m. On the other hand, for the storage of slow moving items longspan shelving will be used, having
faster response with the continuous changing market demands. Flexible Manufacturing System emerged as a powerful tool one due to its large flexibility, which is essential to stay competitive in this highly excellent environment. Flexible Manufacturing System is a complex system consisting components like machine equipment tool, material handling system (AGV), storage and retrieval system. Flexible Manufacturing System scheduling problems are more complex, since the jobs are highly interrelated and

results are only as good as the ability scientists have to record their findings and share them with the rest of the world, and that at the time the article was written, the methods for the recording, storage, and retrieval of that information were severely insufficient. The way information storage and retrieval could benefit libraries just for the sake of librarianship seemed almost an afterthought to him, however, and he mentions libraries just a few times in the entire document.

inventory cuts down the cost in the aspects of storage, labor cost, and shipping cost. RFID has security notification features which will notify when a product tagged with RFID if it leaves the premises before billing. Ultimately, it allows to provide products with lesser cost when RFID saves theft cost. RFID smart labeling system can keep track of unidentified products in the inventory and it can locate the mixed items in the shelves. Smart shelf systems can track the labeled items in the shelves which
start to cook, assemble or preheat their stuff until they receive a customer order.

we need mappings between schema levels? How do different schema definition languages support this architecture? Answer: DBMS defines three – schema architecture which is shown below: Internal schema at the internal level to describe physical storage structures and access paths, typically uses a physical data model. Conceptual schema at the conceptual level describes the structure and constraints for the whole database for a community of users. These uses a conceptual or an implementation data
