at least one warehouse. Distributed database may include back-up data for other
warehouses. Analyze Local Data - Scan
shipped/received data for errors Analyze Global Data - Request data updates from networked LogProc's,
Use LogSoft to perform
statistical/logical analysis of Tag data Keyboard/Monitor - Function as a
standard PC by receiving inputs from keyboard and displaying graphical outputs
on monitor. Transmit/Receive Data - Communicate with other LogProc's using TCP/IP, for MtagPro
and Tags use radio frequency. CPU LOGISTICS SOFTWARE LOGICAL/ STATISTICAL ANALYSIS MEMORY DISTRIBUTED LOGISTICS DATABASE FILE FORMAT INTERFACE DEVICES MONITOR (CRT) KEYBOARD COMMS INTERFACE "LogProc Offline" From Other LogProc's Figure 15: LogProc
