Development of a new Warehouse Management Concept with Optimization Techniques concerning an Innovative Storage and Retrieval Machine

Abstract

The basic idea behind the proposed storage and re-trieval machine is to minimize the mass to be moved by using a cable-based on Stewart-Gough Platform (SGP). Conventional storage and retrieval machines (SRMs) are replaced with a platform which is attached to up to eight pretensioned cables. The software is used to manage the transactions for the optimization of storage and retrieval orders in warehouse shelves, as well as the optimization of the inventory at any times without any direct orders. It includes mechanisms which determine when orders are processed, in which order, and in which combinations. The main goal is to combine storage and retrieval orders so it is worked as fast and efficient as possible.
