In the last decade, different multi-deep rack climbing robotic (MRR) systems have been
introduced, particularly in e-commerce warehouses. These systems have great benefits, as …

We propose a new type of automated goods‐to‐person system based on a grid of unit‐sized
conveyors. The system uses a negotiation‐based decentralized control algorithm to route …

Puzzle-based storage systems consist of densely stored unit loads on a square grid. The
problem addressed in this paper is to retrieve a stored unit load from a puzzle-based storage …

Abstract The Puzzle-Based Storage (PBS) system is an innovative high-density storage
system for physical goods, which has the advantage of gravity flow racks in terms of space …

The addition of omnidirectional capability and modularization to conveyor systems is an
exciting and trending topic in current conveyor research. The implementation of …

In this paper, kinematic modeling and control of an omnidirectional wheeled cellular
conveyor are proposed. Two inverse kinematic models for the conveyor are compared: a …

With the application of in-house logistics automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems for
transportation three different control problems arise: task assignment, empty vehicle …

Purpose While significant efforts have been made to study auction and logistics theories in
the context of perishable supply chain trading (PSCT) over the last few years, the consensus …
