Abstract

We analyze the overall operation process and storage model of U-shaped curve rail type AS/RS, put forward an optimization designing method based on minimal operating time, set up a mathematical model, and make verifications using genetic algorithm which show that this optimization method greatly increases the operating efficiency of U-shaped curve rail type AS/RS, and provides a powerful reference for its application.
