Abstract

This paper presents a rapid response system architecture for the distributed management of warehouses in logistics by applying the concept of edge computing. A tiered edge node architecture is proposed for the system to process computing tasks of different complexity, and a corresponding rapid response algorithm is introduced. A software-defined simulation is done to evaluate the system performances on rapidness and correctness, from which it can be concluded that all pre-defined emergency cases can be detected and responded to within a relatively short period of time.
