Productivity Improvement in Warehouse Using Power BI and Power Automate

This cooperative education project aims to enhance speed and facilitate the verification process for stock issuance, transfers, distributions, and receipts in the warehouse. The primary focus is to address issues related to wasted time and delays in operational processes. Through analysis, it was found that SAP, the current system, involves complex processes requiring specialized expertise. Although the company has developed the iWarehouse system to improve efficiency, delays and procedural complexity persist. To resolve these challenges, Power BI was utilized to visualize data related to stock issuance, transfers, distributions, and receipts, allowing warehouse staff to work more efficiently by minimizing waste and accelerating processes. Additionally, Power Automate was integrated to automate the processing of received stock numbers from emails, reducing errors and delays caused by manual data entry. The results of this improvement indicate a significant increase in employee efficiency and a noticeable reduction in wasted time. Upon project completion, the findings and development approach will be provided to the company for further enhancement.

Developing An Open-Source Tool for Power System and Microgrid Analysis

In this project, we introduce Power Grid Analyzer (PGAz), an open-source software package based on MATLAB, specifically designed for analyzing and controlling future power grids. Initially, PGAz is equipped with four fundamental features: power flow (PF), optimal power flow (OPF), small-signal stability analysis (SSSA), and time-domain simulation (TS). At this stage, Part I concentrates on the development of PF and OPF. The formats of our developed tool are presented, along with its command prompts. In this part, we have developed several conventional yet effective methods in the PGAz package to address PF and OPF problems, including techniques such as the Newton-Raphson method, Gauss-Seidel method, Interior Point Method, Iwamoto’s method, Fast Decoupled Load Flow, Genetic Algorithm, and Particle Swarm Optimization. Additionally, it emphasizes important aspects, algorithms, and various case studies that have been tested against IEEE benchmarks ranging from the IEEE 5-bus to the IEEE 300-bus test systems. The results demonstrate the capabilities of PGAz for future educational and research applications in PF and OPF. Finally, we outline a plan for developing Part II, which will mainly focus on SSSA and TS.
