ABOUT THE AUTOMATED STORAGE SYSTEMS FOR PALLETS

Abstract

The using of Automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) allow users to optimize storage space and increase the efficiency of managing all processes in them. The main problem for optimization in AS/RS  is principally on travel time estimates and different control policies such as dwell-point of the stacker crane, storage assignment, request sequencing and so on. The paper presents comparison between AS/RS types, storage technologies used and types of storage machines. The opportunities to optimize the processes in these AS/RS are presented.
