Development and optimization of automated storage and retrieval algorithm in warehouse by combining storage location identification and route planning method

Abstract

Construction of efficient process for managing goods and reducing distance movement of goods to save energy are two important tasks in management warehouse. This paper will present a combination of building algorithms to determine storage location in storage and retrieval process as well as planning optimal route in each travel cycle of goods, their combination helps to manage the goods effectively and reduce travel distance. A built-in management software makes it easy to evaluate the effectiveness of the algorithms, simulated warehouse contains 160 storage locations divided into 4 lines. The algorithm is designed to increase the efficiency of warehouse management as well as the plan optimal route for goods. Simulation program written in c # with intuitive interface to make more convenient for users.
