Abstract

The use of clean and renewable sources of energy is a global trend in preserving the environment. In addition, in the long run, the cost of renewable energy is lower than the energy generated by fuels. By extension, if clean energy is used in industry, it will have a very strong impact on all supply chains, both service and productivity. This case study highlighted the technical potential and economic feasibility of the activation the transformation of kinetic energy of trucks to electrical power using piezo-electric tiles, its effect in Kinda Food's warehouse, its impact on the supply chain, and the economic feasibility of its long-term application. This case explained how to convert regular warehouses into green warehouses, explained the usage of alternative energy in warehouses, explained the difference in cost of using renewable energy and fuel energy in warehouses, and obtained the benefits.
