Autonomous mobile robots (AMR) are currently being introduced in many intralogistics
operations, like manufacturing, warehousing, cross-docks, terminals, and hospitals. Their …

Robotic handling systems are increasingly applied in distribution centers. They require little
space, provide flexibility in managing varying demand requirements, and are able to work …

Abstract This paper models Robotic Mobile Fulfillment Systems and analyzes their
performance. A Robotic Mobile Fulfillment System is an automated, parts-to-picker storage …

Robotic mobile fulfillment systems (RMFS) have seen many implementations in recent
years, due to their high flexibility and low operational cost. Such a system stores goods in …

Abstract A Robotic Mobile Fulfillment System is a recently developed automated, parts-to-
picker material handling system. Robots can move storage shelves, also known as inventory …

This paper presents analytical travel time model for the computation of travel (cycle) time for
shuttle-based storage and retrieval systems (in continuation SBS/RS). The proposed model …

We study robotic mobile fulfilment systems for online retailers, where products are stored in
movable shelves and robots transport shelves. While previous studies assume random …

This paper models and analyzes tier-captive autonomous vehicle storage and retrieval
systems. While previous models assume sequential commissioning of the lift and vehicles …

Many distribution centers use expensive, conveyor-based sorting systems that require large
buildings to house them. In areas with tight space, robotic sorting systems offer a new type of …

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 …
