Abstract

Flow-rack automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) has very high storage density, in which each storage unit (bin) can simultaneously store multiple unit-loads in depth. Based on the turnover information, Modi-InDeep heuristic can appropriately organize unit-loads in each bin of flow-rack to reduce blocking unit-loads. In this paper, two modifications are proposed to improve the performance of Modi-InDeep heuristic. Experimental results demonstrate that the designed modifications can save the total travel time of the storage machine and reduce blocking unit-loads.
