Abstract
In our country Morocco, several dairy factories are placed in rural regions with a bad road network, which means that milk collection has a significant impact on profit, affecting milk transport costs. Actually, the milk run logistics process has been transformed from a traditional farm to the new cheese factory, so it’s needed efficient methods and models to improve the process of production and collection of milk from those units. For that, we will apply new technologies such as the internet of things (IoT) and big data to collect and analyze this information to optimize the milk delivery process. The main goal of this work is to design a new smart decision method using the internet of things and big data to optimize the milk run logistics, reduce the cost of transportation and improve collection density. This method will be based on the swarm artificial intelligence concept to find and calculate the shortest path between units to optimize the collection of milk.
Highlights
An excellent growth medium for microorganisms, milk is a highly perishable nutritious food
We need to collect all data from the different components and store in specific databases, at this time, a new job is done to analyze that information to prepare the environment that will be adopted for preparing the path planning for each truck
Preparation Phase of the Distributed System for the Milk-Run Our web application will be developed based on the JavaScript and PHP 5 technologies to prepare the frontend, for storing data we use a MongoDB database which allows us to store unlimited data
Summary
An excellent growth medium for microorganisms, milk is a highly perishable nutritious food. Processing allows the preservation of this product for several days, as well as the extension of its shelf life. This is achieved through many techniques, including cooling or fermentation. A Milk Run (Nguyen, et Al, 2016) is a delivery strategy used to transport milk from various farms. Instead of each farm sending a truck every day to collect milk. The arrangement of the circulation trailer tank milk collection problem is a key element to determine whether the pattern of vehicle supply logistics cycle pickup can implement success. Arrange the milk collection path reasonably is beneficial to reduce transportation cost, save time and improve the efficiency of the milk logistics operations
