A warehouse simulation

The simulation demonstrates an order handling system in a customizable user-defined
warehouse. The carts are using the Floyd–Warshall algorithm for finding the shortest
path between shelves with the goods and the dispensing point. Each order has assigned
a single cart. An order can be specified in order.json file or GUI of a simulation.
The simulation supports interactive interventions like - closing an alley, adding
an order and changing the speed or the time of the simulation. The system is fully
customizable, a user can define a custom floor plan, orders and goods. The system
consists of:
  -- dispensing point
  -- shelves
  -- carts
  -- path nodes


Limitations
  -- a shelf is accessible only from a single node
  -- on a single shelf can be only one type of goods
  -- the system does not take into account the weight or volume of the goods,
  -- a warehouse can only have a single dispensing point
  -- the carts cannot collide with each other
  -- routes cannot be one-way
  -- if any goods are unreachable, then the cart will not pick them up



Input data

The simulation loads the data from files in a JSON format stored in data/:
  -- warehouse.json -- the floor plan of the warehouse
  -- orders.json    -- the specification of orders (time, goods, amount)
  -- goods.json     -- the placement of goods in shelves
An example of each file can be found in data/.


Requirements
  -- Ant (>= 1.10.7)
  -- Java SE 8 (or OpenJDK|Java SE >8 with JavaFX)
  -- wget (>= 1.20.3)
  -- unzip (>= 6.00)


Usage

Use the ant tool to run 'ant run' or build 'ant compile' the project from the root
directory. Cleaning the project can be done by 'ant clean'.
