Title: Identifying COVID-19 Cases in Singapore During the Early Pandemic Period

Abstract:

Rapid identification of COVID-19 cases, which is crucial to outbreak containment efforts, is challenging due to the lack of pathognomonic symptoms and in settings with limited capacity for specialized nucleic acid–based reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing. Thus, we developed models to identify COVID-19 cases via epidemiological and clinical features. Thereafter, a Web Application with improved algorithms was developed for use in outpatient settings. The Web Application assisted physicians decide those patients who need priority PCR testing in early outbreak.

Title: Intralogistics Synchronization in Robotic Forward-reserve Warehouses for Last-mile Delivery

Abstract:

Intralogistics operations (IOs) are defined as the operations inside a warehouse. This talk discusses IOs in a typical robotic forward-reserve e-commerce warehouse involving manual order-picking and robotic order sorting operations. It is critical to synchronize IOs between different areas considering delivery requirements to improve the overall performance. This challenge is formulated as a delivery-driven intralogistics synchronization (DDIS) problem. Our study develops a tailored variable neighborhood search solution method. A series of comprehensive numerical experiments under various scenarios show the superiority and stability of the DDIS as benchmarked with sequential approaches. A substantial reduction can be achieved in both makespan and forward area size, indicating significantly improved intralogistics operational efficiency and space utilization. Managerial insights are also discussed for specific action plans regarding the market size, the labor force, and the trolley configuration.
