Summary

THIS PAPER IDENTIFIES THE INITIAL DESIGN CRITERIA FOR AN AUTOMATED WAREHOUSE DESIGN AND THEN DESCRIBES THE SELECTION OF COMPONENTS AND THE MAIN DESIGN DECISIONS FOR A NON-REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE HOUSING 10,000 SINGLE PALLETS IN A 22 M HIGH BUILDING WITH 8 CRANE AISLES. THE MOST IMPORTANT STARTING POINT IS A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THE CLIENT'S NEEDS AND A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF FUTURE EXPANSION. WHEN INITIAL DECISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE ON THE STACKING GEOMETRY, A COMPUTER SIMULATION IS RUN ON THE WAREHOUSE OPERATION TO IDENTIFY BOTTLENECKS. ENGINEERING DECISIONS FOLLOW TO ESTABLISH COMPONENT STRENGTH AND QUALITY. D.W.H.
