Research On Experimental Automated Storage And Retrieval System

With the high development of economy, logistics has developed highly in our country. They can accelerate with each other. But there are few people with senior ability on logistics, which has embarrassed the development of economy. Establishing the logistics experimental system can intentionally develop the technology of logistics and bring up the abilities. The Experimental Automated Storage and Retrieval System is the core of logistics center. How to establish the experimental Automated Storage and Retrieval System is a very important problem. Few people has study the problem. The thesis is about this problem.The paper creatively uses the Systematic Layout Planning method on the experimental Automated Storage and Retrieval System layout and design. The non-logistics factor is also added on. After careful research and study, how to layout the whole system is concerned on two factors. One is logistics factor, the other is non-logistics factor. The non-logistics factor can be described by qualitative relevancy, The logistics factor can be described by to-and-from table. The to-and-from table can be changed into qualitative relevancy. We plan the Experimental Automated Storage and Retrieval System using this method, basing on the two analysis.After the layout and design, the paper described the important and difficult problem, that is the period of the stacker and the dimension of shelves. Firstly the main parts of the stacker and shelves are explained in detail. The paper has made out the best running velocity of stacker. The stacker should runs around the best velocity, not more and not less than the best running velocity 10 percent. If the stacker runs at the velocity much higher than the best velocity, the period will shorten very little. But the voices and cost will increase highly. The velocity is concerned very much to the dimensions of shelf. To definite the dimensions of shelves, the key work is to definite the dimension of standard kit unit.Then the paper introduces the conveyers and its transportation capability. The main styles and point switches of the conveyers and the method to definite the needed distance are also introduced.At last, the paper uses the simulator to test the main points. Then the main experiments are described. Firstly the the best running velocity is calculated. Then 10 percent is decreased, 10 percent increased. Through selecting representative data, the period of stacker is calculated. Then accounts the averages. The simulation has testified the points that the paper made out in chapter three. The actual application has proved that the method described in the paper is useful. To establish the Experimental Automated Storage and Retrieval System using the method will need less cost and get better results.
