Abstract :
For the features of an automated storage & retrieval system (AS/RS), the simulation and analysis of the equipment utilization rate, cargo turnover speed and the optimal allocation of resources based on Flexsim software, provides a basis for decision making to improve. Simulation results show that the program can effectively Solute the bottlenecks of AS/RS; simulation method than the traditional method is convenient, fast, and many other advantages.
