Green agriculture warehouse analysis in Yancheng, China

Abstract

Mechanization level and informatization level have been improved through recent years, sustainability should be emphasized in response to the waste from the logistics process. Sustainable warehousing is integral to logistics processes, especially for perishable agricultural products. The sustainable warehouse focused on two areas: layout and energy application. The warehouse adopted the SLP method to mini-mize the construction cost and optimize the warehouse system and zone partition arrangement. Mecha-nization level and informatization level have been improved through recent years, sustainability should be emphasized in response to the waste from the logistics process. The sustainable warehouse focused on two areas: layout and energy application. The research questions were “What is a suitable layout for a sustainable agricultural warehouse?” and “How to apply renewable energy to the warehouse system?” The first question is based on data analy-sis and estimation, the data is rearranged and estimated by Excel sheet. After a critical literature review from authoritative books and professional papers, multiple diagrams analysis, diagram drawings by Edraw, and charts by Excel, the warehouse adopted the SLP method to minimize the construction cost and optimize the warehouse system and zone partition arrangement. The second one is using PVsyst 7.3 to determine the tile angle and Excel for the solar panel’s parameter and final electricity calculation. The future will be combined with a designed algorithm to get more accurate results.
