연결 물류시스템을 고려한 트윈 크레인 AS/RS 흐름시간 분석
Automated storage/retrieval systems (AS/RS) remain essential in various industries, including smart factories and distribution centers. This study analyzes the flow time of a twin crane AS/RS (TC-AS/RS) with connected material handling systems such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs). To account for system variability, we developed a discrete-event simulation model considering factors such as arrival and service rates. The simulation data is further analyzed using a G/G/1 queueing model to evaluate system performance. Experimental results show that analyzing TC-AS/RS at the crane-level improves estimation accuracy compared to system-level G/G/1 model. Additionally, the input/output (I/O) configuration significantly impacts flow times, with the Both ends I/O layout help prevent bottlenecks under high demand in the connected material handling system.
