Abstract

Warehousing 4.0 represents a new area of storing and retrieving goods by using shuttle-based storage and retrieval systems instead of fixed crane automated warehouses. Travel-time model that considers the real operating characteristics of the shuttle carrier and the elevator's lifting table, has been used. Assuming uniform distributed storage locations and the probability theory, expressions for the expected cycle time of the elevator's lifting table and the shuttle carrier have been presented. For the performance analysis of the shuttle-based storage and retrieval system, the method called design of experiments has been used, from which the performance of the shuttle-based storage and retrieval system can be evaluated.

Highlights

  • Industry 4.0 represents the Fourth Industrial Revolution, a new level of Organization und Control - concerning the whole value creation chain over the entire life cycle of products [14].The initiative Industry 4.0 has been issued by the German government in 2010 and was first mentioned in 2011 on Hanover fair CeMat in Germany.There are other initiatives like The Industrial Internet Consortium Smart Manufacturing Leadership Coalition, Made in China 2025, etc., which are manly driven by the companies [14].There are many growth opportunities by imple– menting the Industry 4.0. in different industry fields like Automotive industry, Mechanical and Electrical indu– stry, etc

  • Design of Experiment (DOE) is a design tool that analyses the relation between constant, input and output variables in order to identify the significant factors affecting the output

  • The aim of this study is to present design of experiments with the OptiMax optimization package that can estimate the throughput performance of the selected SBS/RS
