  • Analytical and simulation approach for design of automated storage and retrieval systems
    Potrč, Iztok ...
    The throughput performance of multi-shuttle Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems - AS/RS versus single-shuttle AS/RS is presented in this paper. For single-shuttle AS/RS the random location ... assignment policy was applied for storage operation, while for the retrieval operation the First In - First Out - FIFO request selection rule was applied. In multi shuttle AS/RS, a heuristics strategy called Strategy-x was used for storage location assignment and for the request selection rule. The comparison of multi-shuttle and single-shuttle AS/RS operation is contrasted for alternative combination of storage rack configuration and storage/retrieval machine velocity profiles. The comparison of single-shuttle and multi-shuttle AS/RS shows large improvements in throughput capacities of multi-shuttle AS/RS.
