Analysis of the operation of a stacker crane with simulation methods

Journal Title: Logistics and Transport - Year 2011, Vol 12, Issue 1

Abstract

The paper presents a simulation model of a stacker crane used as a means of internal transport in storage systems. A dynamical model of a stacker crane has been developed in the discrete event driven simulation environment. Results of numerical experiments and time characteristics are presented for various trajectories of a crane.
