Abstract

This paper deals with developing automated warehousing systems, from the best physcial structure design to the control and managing code generation and installation rules. An integrated object oriented modeling methodology and a number of tools, have been developed in order to automate the design process as much as possible, and to take advantage of the common features of this kind of installation, and also allowing the needed customization. Finally, the design process of a real warehouse project is presented. This system is now working at the ACL company in Valladolid (Spain), which feeds the Palencia (Spain) RENAULT car-assembly plant with car seat covers in a JIT environment.
