Multi-objective Optimization of Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems

The multi-objective optimization of automated warehouse is discussed and evaluated in present paper. Since most of researchers in material handling community had performed optimization of decision variables with single objective function only (usually named with minimum travel time, maximum throughput capacity, minimum cost, etc.), the multi-objective optimization (time-costquality) will be presented in present research. For the optimization of decision variables in objective functions, the method with genetic algorithms is used. The main objective of our contribution is to determine the performance of the system according to the multi-objective optimization technique.
