“…• A-Frame systems consist of a set of successive vertical channels filled with stockpiles of SKUs (see also Boywitz, Schwerdfeger, & Boysen, 2019 ). The channels are arranged along two opposite frames, which have their top ends tilted toward each other like a pitched roof.…”

“…In addition, Jin, Yun, and Gao (2015) develop a simulation model of a dispenser route and find that dispensing efficiency is affected by the order of storage containers. Boywitz, Schwerdfeger, and Boysen (2019) find that the order sequencing affects pickers' utilisation of A-frames.…”

With new market developments and e-commerce, there is an increased use of and interest in automation for order picking. This paper presents a systematic review and content analysis of the literature. It has the purpose of understanding the relevant performance aspects for automated, or partly automated, OPSs and identifying the studied links between design and performance, i.e. identifying which combinations of design aspects and performance aspects have been studied in previous research. For this purpose, 74 papers were selected and reviewed. From the review, it is clear that there has been an increased number of papers dealing with the performance of automated, or partly automated, OPSs in recent years. Moreover, there are differences between the different OPS types, but, overall, the performance categories of throughput, lead time, and operational efficiency have received the most attention in the literature. The paper identifies links between design and performance that have been studied, as well as links that appear to be under-researched. For academics, this paper synthesises the current knowledge on the performance of automation in OPSs and identifies opportunities for future research. For practitioners, the paper provides knowledge that can support the decision-making process of automation in OPSs.

“…Most of the warehouse picking literature concerns the optimization of the picking process, while considering the picking and replenishment process remains an open topic. A proper order sequencing can facilitate the replenishment process and prevent stock-outs in A-frame system with fewer workers (Boywitz et al, 2019). In RMFS, the decision problem of order picking and batching along with the replenishments could reduce the total shelf visits (Jiang et al, 2020).…”

E-commerce, new retail, and other changes have highlighted the requirement of high efficiency and accuracy in the logistics service. As an important section in logistics and supply chain management, warehouses need to respond positively to the increasing requirement. The “smart warehouse” system, which is equipped with emerging warehousing technologies, is increasingly attracting the attention of industry and technology giants as an efficient solution for the future of warehouse development. This study provides a holistic view of operations management problems within the context of smart warehouses. We provide a framework to review smart warehouse operations management based on the characteristics of smart warehouses, including the perspectives of information interconnection, equipment automation, process integration, and environmental sustainability. A comprehensive review of relevant literature is then carried out based on the framework with four perspectives. This study could provide future research directions on smart warehouses for academia and industry practitioners.
