Webasrs – A Web-Based Tool For Modeling And Design Of Abstract Unit-Load Picking Systems, Jeffrey S. Smith, Sabahattin Gokhan Ozden
11th IMHRC Proceedings (Milwaukee, Wisconsin. USA – 2010)
This paper describes a web-based tool that supports the modeling and design of abstract unit-load picking systems. The term “abstract” implies that the model is not specific to any equipment or vendors’ products, but, instead, focuses on the generic system components such as pallets, racks, slots, forklifts, cranes, etc. that comprise typical unitload picking systems. The objectives of the tool are to support the design of an AS/RSbased or a manual forklift-based picking system based on a set of design parameters and to be able to convert from an AS/RS design to a flat warehouse design and vice versa.
