DESIGN AND REALIZATION OF INTELLIGENT MODULE FOR STORAGE LOCATION ASSIGNMENT IN AS/RS

An intelligent module is designed to be applied to optimization and decision-making on the problem of dynamic location assignment for material in AS/RS. The problems on the area and storage location assignment strategy in AS/RS are discussed. The paper sets energy consumption and the operating time of the stacker as the optimizing control objectives basing on the random storage strategy for the area and location assignment. Then it puts forward the mathematical model on the storage location optimization in AS/RS. Furthermore, it constructs the intelligent module combining with the simulation software platform. At last, it carries out simulation test and analyses by example. The results have shown that the intelligent module can optimize the storage location assignment problems in AS/RS effectively and improve the loading-unloading efficiency It has provided theoretical basis and intellectual support to the practical operation of the enterprises.
