Abstract

We present a fast algorithm for finding the routing sequence of the transporter in a bay type AS/R system. The methodology requires minimal computer hardware and CPU time. It is based on the analysis of the tree date structure abstracted from the problem. Some test cases are evaluated on a 100-aisle by 50-items-per-aisle AS/R system configuration.
