This report addresses material handling systems applicable to warehouse operation activities, considering the recent technological advances on this matter. In particular, it focuses on innovative automated storage and retrieval systems, which are able to improve warehouse performance in terms of productivity, flexibility and robustness compared to traditional systems. Six distinct types of storage and retrieval system are studied. Firstly, they are extensively described, by presenting how they operate, their particularities, application area, advantages and disadvantages. Then, a vast review of the existent literature on these types of system is performed, by analyzing and classifying a total of 76 papers. Finally, this report brings forward a future agenda on automated storage and retrieval systems, by identifying research trends and research opportunities on the subject, finding that the industry 4.0 technologies and the environmental dimension are issues to be addressed by future studies.
Il presente report affronta i sistemi di movimentazione dei materiali per le attività di magazzino, considerando i recenti progressi tecnologici in merito. In particolare, questo lavoro si concentra su innovativi sistemi automatizzati di stoccaggio e prelievo, in grado di migliorare le performance del magazzino in termini di produttività, flessibilità e robustezza rispetto ai sistemi tradizionali. Sono studiati sei tipi distinti di sistemi automatizzati di stoccaggio e prelievo. Innanzitutto, essi sono ampiamente descritti, presentando come funzionano, le loro particolarità, area di applicazione, vantaggi e svantaggi. Quindi, è stata svolta una vasta analisi della letteratura esistente su questi tipi di sistema, analizzando e classificando un totale di 76 articoli. Infine, questo report propone l’agenda per le direzioni di sviluppo sui sistemi automatizzati di stoccaggio e prelievo, identificando le tendenze e le opportunità, constatando che le tecnologie dell'Industria 4.0 e la dimensione ambientale sono questioni che devono essere affrontate da studi futuri.

Abstract
This report addresses material handling systems applicable to warehouse operation activities, considering the recent technological advances on this matter. In particular, it focuses on innovative automated storage and retrieval systems, which are able to improve warehouse performance in terms of productivity, flexibility and robustness compared to traditional systems. Six distinct types of storage and retrieval system are studied. Firstly, they are extensively described, by presenting how they operate, their particularities, application area, advantages and disadvantages. Then, a vast review of the existent literature on these types of system is performed, by analyzing and classifying a total of 76 papers. Finally, this report brings forward a future agenda on automated storage and retrieval systems, by identifying research trends and research opportunities on the subject, finding that the industry 4.0 technologies and the environmental dimension are issues to be addressed by future studies.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
