LEAN AND GREEN @ INTRALOGISTICS - CASE STUDY: SBS/RS VERSUS AS/RS

Attention in lean and green intralogistics has been increasing recently. Automated storage and retrieval systems that are used to buffer materials and products for a specific time period to be used later play significant role in intralogistics activities. In this study, we analyze an autonomous vehicle system known as shuttle-based storage and retrieval system (SBS/RS) in comparison with traditional crane- based system known as mini load automated storage and retrieval system (CBAS/RS). Models for throughput and energy consumption calculations have been proposed for both systems. We also present performance comparison of SBS/RS and mini-load CBAS/RS for the selected storage rack configurations and velocity profile of the selected material handling equipment. The results may serve as guidelines to warehouse designers and managers for designing new or improving existing automated warehouses.
