Research on AS/RS Simulation Modeling and Evaluating Based on Flexsim Software

摘要

This paper presents a series of models, methods, steps and procedure for building AS/RS simulation and evaluation system based on Flexsim software: building simulation model for independent ASRSVehicle limit output and entire integrated systemic; doing simulation experiment for single cycle storage/retrieve and integrated process; evaluating the system operating efficiency and performance, throughput, bottleneck and the key equipments utilization. A case study about an automobile parts factory AS/RS system simulation and evaluation are introduced, and some of customized programming arithmetic and tips by using Flexsim script in designing ASRSVehicle retrieving dispatch module are proposed.
