A multi-objective optimisation study for the design of an AVS/RS warehouse

Banu Yetkin Ekren

Summary: This paper introduces a hierarchical solution approach for multi-objective optimization of AVS/RS warehouse design, highlighting the importance of considering conflicting performance measures such as average cycle time and average energy consumption per transaction. The aim is to attract practitioners to the significance of multi-objective performance optimization, presenting Pareto-optimal solutions.

Cost and performance comparison for tier-captive and tier-to-tier SBS/RS warehouse configurations

Melis Kucukyasar et al.

Summary: This study compares two configurations of shuttle-based storage and retrieval systems (SBS/RS): SBS/RS with tier-captive shuttles and SBS/RS with tier-to-tier shuttles. The tier-to-tier shuttle design can reduce investment costs and increase shuttle utilization, but also adds operational complexity to the system.
