Research on Autonomous Vehicle Storage and Retrieval System Cargo Location Optimization in E-commerce Automated Warehouse

Abstract

Abstract Cargo allocation optimization is important to improve the efficiency of e-commerce automated warehouse’s autonomous vehicle storage and retrieval system (AVS/RS) operations. Considering the electrical business logistics characteristic of small batch, batches, variety characteristics, this paper aiming at maximizing the highest efficiency and shelf stability for warehousing efficiency, we established an initial cargo location model, designed an adaptive multi-objective genetic algorithm. MATLAB software programming was used to implement the model solution, and an example verification was performed with an automation warehouse named Jing-dong in China. The comparison between the initial cargo location model and the random storage strategy shows that the model can significantly improve the overall warehousing efficiency and shelf stability of AVS/RS.
