摘要：

Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RSs) and autonomous vehicle storage and retrieval systems (AVS/RSs) are two competing technologies for the handling, storage and retrieval of unit-loads in the reserve section of an automated warehouse. In this paper, we model variants of the two systems as an open queuing network (OQN) and use an existing tool for the analysis of OQNs, called the manufacturing system performance analyser (MPA), for analysing the performance of the AS/RS and AVS/RS. Experimental results are provided to show that MPA is a better choice than simulation to quickly evaluate alternate configurations of the two systems. We use MPA to answer a series of design questions for AS/RS and AVS/RS design conceptualisation.
