MilitaryAgencyforStandardization, May Land ForcesLogisticDoctrine. London, 19 June In the first I show the Air Force Logistics Operations like supply and material handling, containerisation, identification, packaging and shipping and material handling equipments. In the second part I present the material identification solutions as bar code systems,radio frequency identification RFID and unique identification UID system.
In the final part I give a holistic picture about air transport solutions and show the Smart Defence concept through of it. Keywords: air force logistics operations, supply and material handling, containerisation, identification, packaging and shipping, material handling equipments, material identification, bar code systems,radio frequency identification RFID , unique identification UID , air transport. George S.
The definition is varies, some of them discribes the functions it covers some describes a procedure. In the literatureseveral functions or services determined under this terminology likeidentification, cataloging, standardization, needdetermination, scheduling,procurement, inspection, quality control, packaging, storage, inventory control, distribution, anddisposal.
It includes provisioning, cataloging, requirements determination, acquisition, distribution, maintenance, and disposal. Operating materials and supplies consist of tangible personal property to be consumed in normal operations.
I would like to present the bar code standards, radio fequency identification and air transportation solutions. Each service component has a slightly different approach to implementing its logistic concept. This ALP, 4. Among the logistic functions and capabilities we can find a large scale of services like: repair and maintenance of assets and facilities attached to air force , aircraft battle damage repair, aircraft cross servicing a function which increasing mission flexibility by servicing an air asset by an organization other than the aircraft is assigned , en-route bases airfields identified at strategic locations for conduct the assistance of air assets , supply and material handling includes containerisation, identification, packaging and shipping, material handling equipment , deployable capabilities tactical fuel handling equipment, emergency fuel storage, over-the-shore fuel capability, deployable field engineering support, deployable fire and crash unit protection, catering, aircraft maintenance support, deployable communications, armament.
As we can see the publication named Air Forces Logistic Doctrineand Procedures covers a lot of logistic services through the Air Forces can operate and remain operable. If we take into consideration and compare the public and military approach we can notice that the public function of logistics and material management among some others is to support a production process, the military functions are in service to keep the organization operable and to ensure the materials and equipment for a certain mission.
I would like to highlight the services under the category of supply and material handling: 1. Certain aspects of materiel handling such as containerisation and materiel identification are especially relevant to enable rapid deployment and re-deployment of materiel when such operations involve multinational and joint forces.
The use of foot ISO containers, which require larger and more specialised equipment and facilities, shall normally be restricted to the movement of outsize cargo. The general high volume of cargo that must be handled and moved during deployments as well as during transhipments between the various modes of transport dictates maximum use of standardised load carrying and demountable platforms.
The military pallets packages and containers characteristics and test criteria can be found in STANAG edition 06 but a final draft also exists with the same number edition 07 with a supplement publication APP These characteristics esentially based on ISO standards as well.
It gives the updated principles about packaging test procedures and standard methods of preservation. It describes assets as follows pallet trucks, forklift trucks, mobile cranes, ISO container handlers, self-loading transporters, cargo transfer equipment. But not mentions storages systems, order-pickers etc. However we can find a large scale of them, within the alliance they are have to be standardized in favour of common recognition. All of accepted bar code symbologies in NATOcan be foundbelow.
What determines usage are information quantity to be coded, print quality possibilities, decoding device availability. Code This is the original NATO standard bar code. AAP 44 a This is a stacked bar code symbology that has a large capacity and unlike true matrix codes, it is possible to read using a laser scanner reader.
It is one of the standard bar codes used for logistics, e. Symbols may be concatenated Macro PDF to encode further information. A matrix 2D bar code symbology of fixed size made up of offset rows of hexagonal modules arranged around a central finder pattern.
It is read using vision-based readers. Its major application is in high-speed sortation of packages. Data Matrix ECC A true matrix 2D bar code symbology composed of square modules arranged within a perimeter finder pattern. Its most common use is in small article identification and where space is limited. The data content and the use of this symbology are defined in the GS1 system specifications.
I would definitely recommend them to other people. Great service and shopping. Fantastic product. Bought the 6 watch Pelli case and it is fantastic.
Full Recommend, been using those guys for last couple of years and all good always! Amazing service from ordering to delivery to the Middle East in record time, communications were great throughout will be using again!! Ordered 2. Delivered the following day. Max Max quantity.
