“…They have developed 30 simulation models for six design scenarios by using ARENA software. Ekren and Heragu [18] also used simulation to determine near optimum values for a number of autonomous vehicles and lifts; seven design scenarios, and 133 different simulation experiments were performed in this study. Later, Marchet et al [19] presented main design trade-offs for SBS/RS by using simulation.…”

This paper presents an analysis of cycle times and throughput performances of Shuttle-Based Storage and Retrieval Systems (SBS/RSs), a relatively new technology that is becoming an important part of automated warehouses. A parametric simulation model was developed for the purposes of this research. The model enables calculation of Single Command (SC) and Dual Command (DC) cycle times and throughput performances of SBS/RS. The model was tested on a case study, which is based on a real type of SBS/RS. Experiments were designed to evaluate the following factors, such as number of bays n x and minimum warehouse volume Q. Our research uses Design of Experiment (DOE) analysis and helps to achieve the proper dimension of the SBS/RS, which gives us the best possible performance of the SBS/RS. The simulation based on the presented model delivers the best SBS/RS designs.

Original scientific paper In this paper a method for throughput performance calculation of shuttle based storage and retrieval systems (SBS/RS) is presented. SBS/RS represent a new technology in automated storage and retrieval systems. Since it is important to design SBS/RS right the first time due to the relative inflexibility of the physical layout, we provide a proposed method for the throughput performance calculation of these systems. The performance of the system is considered as a throughput capacity of the SBS/RS as a whole.

SBS/RS). SBS/RS zastupaju novu tehnologiju automatiziranih skladišnih sustava. S obzirom na važnost ispravnog oblikovanja (projektiranja) SBS/RS sustava "od prve" zbog relativne nefleksibilnosti fizičke izvedbe, prezentira se predložena metoda proračuna protočne performanse takvih sustava. Performansa sustava razmatra se kao protočni kapacitet SBS/RS kao cjeline.

In this paper, a simulation-based performance evaluation of shuttle-based storage and retrieval system (SBS/RS) is presented. In comparison with well-known automated storage and retrieval systems, SBS/RSs can substantially increase the throughput capacity of the system. The objective of this study is to exploit the benefits of SBS/RS system design for reducing the mean cycle time of transactions and consequently increasing the throughput capacity of the system. Performance comparison of the studied SBS/RS is contrasted with alternative storage rack configurations, velocity profiles of the shuttle carriers and velocity profiles of the elevators' lifting tables in the system. The results show that SBS/RSs are effective in reducing the mean cycle time and also show large improvement by increasing throughput capacity.
