Specifically, we evaluate AI’s impact on crucial warehouse functions—inventory tracking, order fulfillment, and logistics efficiency. Our findings indicate AI automation enables real-time inventory visibility, optimized picking routes, and dynamic delivery scheduling, which drones cannot match. AI better leverages data insights for intelligent decision-making across warehouse operations, supporting improved productivity and lower operating costs.展开更多

Based on the serial port communication of LabVIEW, the X-10 module can be programmed by using the X-10 commands. Through the power line, all the devices connected to the socket will be controlled. Without replacing the existing wire, it must be an easy control system for the user who has no experience in electronics or communication engineering. Actually, this is a quite practical X-10 home automation system.展开更多
