Abstract
Logistics Journal, Vol. 2012, Iss. 10 - To improve the energy efficiency of automatic small parts warehouses (ASPWs) not only the drives and other technologies must be improved, but the strategies must be configured more energy-efficient, as well. For this purpose the single movements must be analyzed in detail. At the Institute of Logistics and Material Handling Systems an ASPW is available for such analysis. It is able to analyze movements over time in terms of power input. From the first experiments the so-called isoenergetic shelves were deduced. The isoenergetic shelves are the shelves which can be reached with the same amount of energy needs. Furthermore existing storage strategies were analyzed concerning the average energy needs.
