Abstract This work addresses the issue of intelligent robot–human‐coordinated parts‐to‐picker order fulfillment carried out in a human‐friendly manner. One unique feature proposed approach involves integrating real‐time data‐driven stochastic‐dynamic model with fatigue accumulation function. The optimal solutions help achieve coordination between human pickers and robots, such that robots can a...

Designing an order picking system can be very complex, as several interrelated control variables are involved. We address the sizing of storage capacity bay, crew pickers, and AGV fleet, which most important from a tactical viewpoint in parts-to-pickers system. Although is widely explored topic literature, no analytical model that simultaneously deal with these currently available. To bridge th...

This paper introduces a grouped genetic algorithm (GGA) to solve the order batching and sequencing problem with multiple pickers (OBSPMP) objective of minimizing total completion time. To best our knowledge, for first time, an OBSPMP is solved by means GGA considering picking devices heterogeneous load capacity. For this, encoding scheme proposed represent in chromosome orders assigned batches,...

The Online Order Batching Problem with Multiple Pickers (OOBPMP) consists of optimizing the operations related to picking process orders in a warehouse, when policy follows an order batching strategy. In this case, variant well-known considers existence multiple workers warehouse and online arrival orders. We study three different objective functions for problem: minimizing completion time, dif...

Abstract Order picking is a labor-intensive and costly process in supply chains, which performed manually most cases. Recently, robots have been developed are capable of working together with human pickers shared space. Such hybrid order system can ease pickers’ workload provide ergonomic improvements, because it partially automates the process. We propose simulation model to measure energy exp...

The Cambodian city of Phnom Penh displays a unique recyclable waste collection system. This article follows the daily practices pickers and movements through city. hereby examined recurrent interactions define overall infrastructure handling that can be described as infracycles: sociomaterial constellations which quotidian flows persons, goods, tools, narratives ideas are organized in circular ...
