User Case

 In this Mechatronics Design course, I was asked to think of a proposal for disruptive and automated technology that could modernize the inventory management process used in warehouses that the company Yao Logistics gives support for that. And the first thing that comes to my mind is a worker with a list printed on paper and a pen, filling it with the numbers that describe the quantity of a product in the warehouse and possibly missing out a couple of products in his count. Making the company that owns that product loses money in the process with all the time and human resources spent on this ineffective task. 

And to solve that I imagine a fully automated warehouse where the employees only have to be monitoring the inventory automatic updates and the state of warehouse equipment. Where when a new product arrives it's automatically and instantly scan and uploaded to an inventory online platform. And then an autonomous lift truck stores the new product in the corresponding place and then when it's time for that product to leave the warehouse the autonomous lift truck takes it to the line that scans and uploads the products that are leaving the warehouse to keep the inventory updated. Taking in consideration the economic, social and environmental factors to implement this proposal meeting with Yao Logistics requirements and without affecting the employees of this warehouses. Also, taking in consideration the sustainable development by implementing a Low Power Moder or Save Power Mode for the equipment.
