Data mining and fault tolerance in warehousing

Abstract

This paper surveys the significance of data mining techniques and fault tolerance in future materials flow systems with a focus on planning and decision-making. The fundamental connection between data mining, fault tolerance, and materials flow is illustrated. Contemporary developments in warehousing are assessed to formulate upcoming challenges. In particular, the transition towards distributed systems and the increasing data volume is examined. The significance of taking fault tolerance into account is emphasized. Ultimately, research issues are derived by conflating the previous findings. They comprise a holistic approach towards the integration of data science and fault tolerance techniques into future materials flow systems. Tackling these research issues will help to proactively harmonize the data representation to specific data mining techniques and increase the reliability of such systems.
