Abstract

In this paper, we are interested in flow-rack automated storage/ retrieval systems (AS/RS), which are compact AS/RS. For this configuration of AS/RS we propose a new storage method based on machine learning (ML), i.e., ML method that assigns to each incoming load a position in the rack, in such a way, that the retrieval time of this same load will be optimal. In other words, we tidy out the loads inside the rack, In order to facilitate access to each type of loads. Consequently, the total (average) retrieval time in the system is minimised. The choice of ML is mainly due to the fact that the output, which is the minimisation of the average retrieval time, cannot be expressed as a function of the input, which is the choice of the most appropriate cell, for the storage of each incoming load. We compared the proposed model results with other basic storage methods. The obtained results were very satisfactory.
