“…Van Oudheusden et al (1988), Goetschalckx and Ratliff (1988) and Hwang and Song (1993) propose heuristics for the sequencing problem in person-on-board AS/RSs. Abdel-Malek and Tang (1994) and Hwang et al (1999) study the sequencing problem for automated single and double shuttle carrousel storage and retrieval systems.…”

Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RSs) are warehousing systems that are used for the storage and retrieval of products in both distribution and production environments. This paper provides an overview of literature from the past 30 years. A comprehensive explanation of the current state of the art in AS/RS design is provided for a range of issues such as system configuration, travel time estimation, storage assignment, dwell point location, and request sequencing. The majority of the reviewed models and solution methods are applicable to static scheduling and design problems only. Requirements for AS/RSs are, however, increasingly of a more dynamic nature for which new models will need to be developed to overcome large computation times and finite planning horizons, and to improve system performance. Several other avenues for future research in the design and control of AS/RSs are also specified.

“…In industry though, one rarely meets a facility where only one carousel is used. Multiple carousel systems tend to have a higher level of throughput; however, they increase the investment cost due to the extra driving and control mechanisms (H wang and H a , 1991; H wang , K im and Ko , 1999). A natural question is how much the throughput of a standard carousel can be improved by the corresponding multiple carousel system that has the same number of shelves as the standard carousel.…”

“…As explained in , two‐carousel systems differ in nature and in analysis from the corresponding one‐carousel problems even when studied under the same assumptions on the various storage, pick, cycle and starting‐point strategies that are followed. As two‐carousel systems perform in broad terms better than single‐carousel systems (H wang et al. , 1999), studying the expected increase in the throughput of the system can help answer questions of financial nature, such as whether the benefits from the increased throughput justify the increased cost of building and operating a two‐carousel system.…”

This paper gives an overview of recent research on the performance evaluation and design of carousel systems. We discuss picking strategies for problems involving one carousel, consider the throughput of the system for problems involving two carousels, give an overview of related problems in this area, and present an extensive literature review. Emphasis has been given on future research directions in this area.Comment: 42 pages, 6 figures, 128 references, invited pape

In practice, automated storage and retrieval carousel systems access orders through a fi rst-come, fi rst-served basis requires a longer storage and retrieval period with cleavage for reducing order access time. We developed a single-command mathematical model of a two-carousel-single-crane system based on storage and retrieval issues of the two-carousel-single-crane automated storage and retrieval system. Furthermore, based on these features, we developed a heuristic method to decide the sequence of storage and retrieval for both the single-layer-single-crane and two-carousel stages to design the fi nal storage and retrieval operations of the two-crane-single-crane system. The researchers conducted a process to determine the operation with the shortest storage and retrieval sequence, which was then compared to a simulated annealing process to identify their advantages and disadvantages.
