STATEMENT OF WORK

STATEMENT OF WORK

AUTOMATED STORAGE KITTING AND RETRIEVAL SYSTEM (ASKARS)

LOCATED AT

FLEET READINESS CENTER EAST CHERRY POINT

(A COMFRC CORPORATE SOLUTION)

1.0 SCOPE

The purpose of this Statement of Work (SOW) is to describe the Government’s requirement for upgrade of an Automated Storage Kitting and Retrieval System to the latest version of REDHAT Linux Enterprise 7.2 Operating System, switch all remaining serial communication to Ethernet communication by modifying the Sub System Controller communication software, replacing DigiBoard hardware with configured Digi ConnectPort servers hardware and provide corrected communication diagrams for the existing and upgraded Subsystems at the Fleet Readiness Center East (FRCE), Cherry Point.

1.1 BACKGROUND

The ASKARS application allows full range of automated and non-automated material handling functions with real-time updates. To perform the automated material handling functions the application provides instructions to the Material Handling Equipment (MHE), i.e. robotic storage retrieval machines and conveyors, in the form of container/pallet move requests via the unique ASKARS-SubSystem Controller (SSC) application. The ASKARS-SSC working in a parent-child relationship that directs, controls, and monitors the MHE for efficient retrieval and storage of the required storage containers/pallets and reports status back to the parent ASKARS application. Each SSC was designed to uniquely operate in coordination with the ASKARS application. It has no independent function and cannot operate as designed without direction from ASKARS in the form of container/pallet move requests. All information regarding material storage, bin, container locations and status is maintained by the ASKARS application database. ASKARS application requests involving material movement are formatted and transmitted to the SSC. The SSC serves as the primary interface with the stacker/conveyor machinery.

FRCE and FRC Southeast (FRCSE) currently use standardized code as a corporate solution and mandated by COMFRC to operate the ASKARS / AS/RS systems. FRCE currently has four (4) independent storage areas located within two (2) buildings. These areas are used to store aircraft parts in support of FRCE’s operation. Each storage area utilizes mini load and/or unit load stacker cranes for a total of twelve (12) cranes. Conveyors transport loads to cranes for storage and away from cranes when retrieved. The Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) and other equipment “not” stated below are “not” included in this SOW. Each configuration of MHE comprises a subsystem that has its own SSC computer for equipment synchronization with ASKARS requests. Each is interfaced to the ASKARS software via an SSC. The current ASKARS application was developed for FRCE and FRCSE and is maintained by the government. The government has unlimited access to the standardized configured code. The four (4) existing SSCs include 32 bit Personal Computers (PCs) and O.S that control each storage system and provide an operator interface. The connection upstream to the host is Ethernet while the connections downstream to the storage system components are a mixture of serial connections through DigiBoards and Ethernet. The SSC application provided must be 100% compatible with the current ASKARS system application standardized code and the other SSCs already operating various Automated Storage/Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) at FRCE and Southeast FRCSE. The current system includes the following:

1.1 Building 137 Cranes
