Multi-shuttle automated storage/retrieval systems

Multi-shuttle automated storage/retrieval systems have been developed for use in factories and distribution centers because they are more efficient than single-shuttle systems (owing to less empty travel). This improved efficiency results in more agile support (flexible response, less waiting time, etc.) for the production system the storage/retrieval system serves. In this paper we develop analytical models to estimate the throughput in multi-shuttle systems. Throughput improvements greater than 100% are illustrated when triple-shuttle systems are compared with single-shuttle systems.
