A Queuing Network Approach for Performance Estimation of Shuttle Based Storage and Retrieval System Design



Shuttle-based storage and retrieval system (SBS/RS) is relatively a new automated storage and retrieval technology developed as an alternative to the mini-load crane-based automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS). It is important to have analytical models calculating critical performance measures promptly facilitating selection of the right warehouse design meeting the requirements of the company. The aim of this study is to present an open queuing network (OQN) model that can estimate the critical performance measures of a pre-defined SBS/RS design. The estiamated performance measures are considered to be the mean waiting time of a transaction and the mean number of transactions waiting in the server of queues as well as the mean utilization of the servers. By the provided model, one would be able to evaluate an SBS/RS’ design promptly, by changing those design criteria.

Host city and venue - Vienna

Vienna (Wien) is the federal capital and largest city of Austria, and one of the nine states of Austria. Vienna is Austria's primate city, with a population of about 1.9 million (2.6 million within the metropolitan area, nearly one third of Austria's population), and its cultural, economic, and political centre. It is the 7th-largest city by population within city limits in the European Union.  Read more...
