摘要：

This paper addresses the throughout improvement possible using a dual-shuttle automated storage/retrieval system. Travel-between time in a dual-command cycle is virtually eliminated, resulting in large throughput improvement. The system is extended to perform an equivalent of two dual commands in one cycle in a quadruple-command mode (QC). A heuristic that sequences retrievals to minimize travel time in the QC mode is developed. Monte Carlo simulation results show that the heuristic performs well, achieving large throughput improvement compared with that of the dual-command cycle operating under the nearest-neighbor retrieval-sequencing heuristic.
