Travel-Time Analysis for an Automated Mobile Racking System

이동랙(移動 rack) 자동창고의 주행(走行)시간 분석

Higher utilization of warehouse space can be achieved by using automated mobile racking systems. Therefore, those systems may be employed for factories or distribution centers as a good option of increasing the storage capacity. In this paper, travel-time models are developed to estimate the average performance of the system assuming randomized storage. Expected travel times are determined for both single- and dual-command cycles. Two extreme input/output-point locations are considered. Some numerical results obtained from the models are given.
