Selection of warehouse-transportation vehicles using discrete simulationsŠraml, Matjaž (Avtor) Lerher, Tone (Avtor) Ljubej, Grega (Avtor) discrete numeric simualtionstransport warehousung unitwarehouse systemIn this paper four different types of warehousingtransportation vehicles (lifttrucks and stacker crane) are analyzed. The complexity of designing warehousing systems in an analytical way is high; therefore the discrete simulation models were performed in order to gain the basic data for different types of warehousing-transportation vehicles. First, the counter balance lift truck is analyzed, which is useful for a lower rack warehouse construction and a lower frequency of operation. Next, the reach truck is analyzed; it enables to achieve higher lifting places, with a relatively high frequency and lift capacity. The narrow aisle lift truck can reach heights up to twelve meters, and is suitable for high frequency demands and lift capacities. Finally, the automated storage and retrieval system is analyzed. The presented models prove to be a very useful and flexible tool for choosing a particular type of warehousing system on the first stage of designing the warehouse process.20082012-05-31 12:17:29Neznano26249sl
